"Nos vertus et nos échecs sont inséparables, comme la force et la matière. Quand ils se séparent, l'homme n'est plus."
— Nikola Tesla

Simplified Meaning:
In life, our good qualities and mistakes are closely connected, just like how energy and matter are always found together. You can't have one without the other. For example, think about someone who is very kind but sometimes trusts people too easily and gets hurt. Their kindness and their naivety come from the same place - they see the best in everyone. If you remove their ability to trust, their kindness might disappear too. It’s a reminder that our strengths often come with weaknesses, and that's what makes us human. We need both our virtues and our flaws to be complete individuals.
