Notable quotes

“Man has mounted science, and is now run away with. I firmly believe that before many centuries more, science will be the master of men. The engines he will have invented will be beyond his strength to control. Someday science may have the existence of mankind in its power, and the human race commit suicide, by blowing up the world.”
— Henry Adams, Letter to Charles Francis Adams Jr. (London, April 11, 1862); in J. C. Levenson, E. Samuels, C. Vandersee and V. Hopkins Winner (eds.), The Letters of Henry Adams: 1858-1868 (1982), vol. 1, p. 290
“The atomic bomb is the Second Coming in Wrath.”
— Winston Churchill, on hearing about the Trinity test, as recollected in Harvey H. Bundy, "Remembered Words," The Atlantic (March 1957)
“In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humour, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.”

— Robert L. Holmes, The New York Times, "What We Don't Know About Nuclear Policy" (January 17, 1988), p.26
“Presidents and generals may not understand nuclear physics, but they have a good grasp of what nuclear bombs can do.”
