“If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendour of the Mighty One...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of worlds.
[Quoted from the Bhagavad Gita after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.]”

“I returned to civilization shortly after that and went to Cornell to teach, and my first impression was a very strange one. I can't understand it any more, but I felt very strongly then. I sat in a restaurant in New York, for example, and I looked out at the buildings and I began to think, you know, about how much the radius of the Hiroshima bomb damage was and so forth... How far from here was 34th street?... All those buildings, all smashed 鈥� and so on. And I would go along and I would see people building a bridge, or they'd be making a new road, and I thought, they're crazy, they just don't understand, they don't understand. Why are they making new things? It's so useless.
But, fortunately, it's been useless for almost forty years now, hasn't it? So I've been wrong about it being useless making bridges and I'm glad those other people had the sense to go ahead.”

“In past wars only homes burnt, but this time
Don't be surprised if even loneliness ignites.
In past wars only bodys burnt, but this time
Don't be surprised if even shadows ignite.”

“I cannot conceive that the man who dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a machine. He also had a heart, just like you. He also had his wife and children, his old mother and father. He was as much a human being as you are鈥攚ith a difference. He was trained to follow orders without questioning, and when the order was given, he simply followed it.”

“Do-oh died on March 14, 2007, just as the buds of her beloved drooping cherry trees behind her house were ready to burst. Having surpassed by two years her goal to live until seventy-five, she had, by her own measure, defeated the atomic bomb. "What I mean is - I mean, they dropped the bombs thinking everyone will die, right? But not everyone was killed. I think it takes great emotional strength and force of will to triumph over nuclear weapons.”

“The bones came jumbled together from the kitchen... there was no way of telling my parents from my Brothers and Sisters. I put them all in the same urn. Sometimes, late at night, I hold them in my hands and cry.”

“Not every environment accepts the dream shaping progress you want to put across. Take a second look at what you dream about, be sure it can progress very well where you are; Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not fertile grounds for a farmer鈥檚 dream seeds. Go and relocate!”

“In a future war the victorious side will dictate the peace to the defeated side in the exact manner described above. This stems from the nature of modern weapons. Such weapons are made to produce decisive results. They are made to engender capitulation and stop all arguments, all negotiations, all half-measures. Atomic bombs were used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The result was the surrender of Japan. Diplomatic power is weak when compared to atomic power. In fact, the illusions of diplomatic power must work against those states that favor negotiation over and above measures strictly undertaken to assure military success.”

“隆Qu茅 ben, que a bomba ven co seu rebombio!
A bomba, 隆bong!, a bomba, bon amigo,
A bomba con aramios, con formigas,
con fornos pra asar meni帽os loiros.
A bomba ten lombrices, bombardinos,
vermes de luz, bombillas fluorescentes,
peixes de chumbo, v贸mitos, an茅monas,
estrelas de plutonio plutocr谩tico,
esterco de cobalto hidroxenado,
martelos, ferraduras, matarratos.
A bomba, bong. A bomba, bon amigo.
Con 谩tomos que estoupan en cadeia
e creban as cadeias que nos atan:
Os outos edificios.
Os outos funcionarios.
Os outos fi帽anceiros.
Os outos ideais.
隆Todo ser谩 borralla radioaitiva!
As est煤pidas nais que pairen fillos
polvo ser谩n, mais polvo namorado.
Os est煤pidos pais, as prostitutas,
as grandes damas da beneficencia,
magnates e mangantes, grandes cruces,
altezas, escelencias, eminencias,
cabaleiros cubertos, descubertos,
nada ser谩n meu ben, si a bomba ven,
nada o amor, e nada a morte morta
con bendici贸s e plenas indulxencias.
隆Qu茅 ben, que a bomba ven! Nun instanti帽o
amable primavera faise cinza
de vagos isotopos placentarios,
de letales surrisas derretidas
baixo un arco de 谩tomos triunfaes.
A bomba, 隆bong! a bomba co seu bombo
de setas e volutas abombadas,
axi帽a ven, vela ah铆 ven, bon amigo.
隆Est谩nos ben! 隆Est谩 ben! 隆Est谩 bon!
隆隆隆叠辞辞辞苍驳!!!&谤诲辩耻辞;
