"Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do." ~ Voltaire
"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed,
a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remember the line
from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to
persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him,
takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the
destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
~ J. Robert Oppenheimer, after a nuclear test at Los Alamos.
"Nuclear warfare is like two men standing in a pool of gasoline,
one with five matches, the other with two." ~Carl Sagan
