Tuesday morning mix-n-match:
A) The use of the atomic bomb, with its indiscriminate killing of women and children, revolts my soul.
B) As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.
C) We have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate.
D) Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
E) No atomic physicist has to worry, people will always want to kill other people on a mass scale. Sure, he's got the fridge full of sausages and spring water.
F) Not only will atomic power be released, but someday we will harness the rise and fall of the tides and imprison the rays of the sun.
G) The present reeks of mediocrity and the atom bomb.
H) Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands, and an infinite scorn in our hearts.
I) New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture
J) My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will build a nuclear bomb with so much force, so much power, that it will be dropped somewhere on the face of this earth and that the earth will lose its place.
K) A poet can write about a man slaying a dragon, but not about a man pushing a button that releases a bomb.
L) I don't know how the third world war will be fought, but I do know that the fourth one will be fought with sticks and stones.
M) Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.
N) In 1951 I was going to grade school. One of the things we were trained to do was hide and take cover under our desks when the air-raid sirens blew because the Russians could attack us with bombs. We were also told that the Russians could be parachuting from planes over our town at any time.... It seemed peculiar. Living under a cloud of fear like that robs a child of his spirit. It's one thing to be afraid when someone's holding a shotgun on you, but it's another thing to be afraid of something that's just not quite real. There were a lot of folks around who took this threat seriously, though, and it rubbed off on you.... When the drill sirens went off, you had to lay under your desk facedown, not a muscle quivering and not make any noise. As if this could save your from bombs dropping. The threat of annihilation was a scary thing. We didn't know what we did to anybody to make them so mad.
O) The only way to reduce the number of nuclear weapons is to use them.
P) I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
Q) My God what have we done?
