The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison

“It’s a story I didn’t know anything about. I stumbled across a quote from medicine in one of these big doorstop biographies we never read. And in the back it says, ‘My mother was the making of me, if not for her devotion and faith in me at a certain time, I would never become an inventor.’ Edison said that to multiple interviewers at the end of his life, and I thought, ‘Wait a minute, who is this mother?'” — Raymond Arroyo
