“Because normal human activity is worse for nature than the greatest nuclear accident in history.”
― Martin Cruz Smith

“In our new age of terrifying, lethal gadgets, which supplanted so swiftly the old one, the first great aggressive war, if it should come, will be launched by suicidal little madmen pressing an electronic button. Such a war will not last long and none will ever follow it. There will be no conquerors and no conquests, but only the charred bones of the dead on and uninhabited planet.”
― William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany

“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 â€� 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.”
― Richard P. Feynman

“The white flashed back into a red ball in the southeast. They all knew what it was. It was Orlando, or McCoy Base, or both. It was the power supply for Timucuan County.

Thus the lights went out, and in that moment civilization in Fort Repose retreated a hundred years.

So ended The Day.”
― Pat Frank, Alas, Babylon

“The job of the United Nations is to grow more flowers, more smiles and more beauty on the earth. Once effect is created, cause will follow,”
― Amit Ray, Nuclear Weapons Free World - Peace on the Earth

“Among all the methods, non-violence is most successful, and I strongly believe that only non-violence can set the true mood of peace and harmony among the nuclear nations. Our experiments with non-violence should be more wide, more engaging and more humble.”
― Amit Ray, Nuclear Weapons Free World - Peace on the Earth

“It doesn't matter, whether it is an x, y or z country, every penny spends for nuclear weapons strengthen the hands of the evil force.”

“Forgive me,' said Abbot Zerchi. 'I wasn't getting ready to argue moral theology with you. I was speaking only of this spectacle of mass euthanasia in terms of human motivation. the very existence of the Radiation Disaster Act, and like laws in other countries, is the plainest possible evidence that governments were fully aware of the consequences of another war, but instead of trying to make the crime impossible, they tried to provide in advance for the consequences of the crime. Are the implications of that fact meaningless to you, Doctor?”
― Walter M. Miller Jr.

“Total annihilation has a way of sharpening people's minds.”

“In nuclear war, except for the evil forces, no one is a winner. Science and humanity become the villains. Everyone knows that, but the gamblers want to play their cards. Beware of the nuclear gamblers.”
― Amit Ray, Nuclear Weapons Free World - Peace on the Earth

“Humans are wired to advance. Humans do whatever it takes.
And yet, nuclear war zeros it all out.
Nuclear weapons reduce human brilliance and ingenuity, love and desire, empathy and intellect, to ash.”
― Annie Jacobsen, Nuclear War: A Scenario

“But we are only termites on a planet and maybe when we bore too deeply into the planet there'll be a reckoning. Who knows?”
― Harry S. Truman

“Ah, how much more soothing
(that is to say, if one should get the choice)
to be wiped off the earth by hell-bound fiends
than by neurotics.”
― Joseph Brodsky, To Urania: Poems

“The fundamental idea behind this book is to demonstrate, in appalling detail, just how horrifying nuclear war would be.”
― Annie Jacobsen, Nuclear War: A Scenario

“The missile crisis "was the most dangerous moment in human history," Arthur Schlesinger commented in October 2002 at a conference in Havana on the fortieth anniversary of the crisis, attended by a number of those who witnessed it from within as it unfolded. Desision-makers at the time undoubtedly understood that the fate of the world was in their hands. Nevertheless, attendees at the conference may have been shocked by some of the revelations. They were informed that in October 1962 the world was "one word away" from nuclear war. "A guy named Arkhipov saved the world," said Thomas Blanton of the National Security Archive in Washington, which helped organize the event. He was referring to Vasil Arkhipov, a Soviet submarine officer blocked an order to fire nuclear-armed toredoes in October 27, at the tensest moment of the crisis, when te submarines were under attack bu US destroyers, A devastating response would have been a near certainty, leading a major war.”

“Yet the greatest tragedy of the twenty-first century may be that we have learned so little from the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century. Apparently catastrophe lessons need to be experienced firsthand by each generation. So, here are some refreshers: Nuclear conflict may mean the end of life on this planet. Mass dehumanization can lead to genocide. The death of an independent press can lead to tyranny and render a population helpless to protect itself against a government that disdains law and conscience.”
― Lesley M.M. Blume, Fallout: The Hiroshima Cover-up and the Reporter Who Revealed It to the World

“The mother can use a knife in the kitchen to chop vegetables and make a healthy meal, but if you give a knife to a child and the child accidentally injures himself, is it the fault of the knife! The same is with us humans and our nukes. Developing nukes is part of the external progress that I just mentioned a while ago, whereas being aware of how to use them would require internal progress, which unfortunately is happening at the speed of a turtle, because almost all humans have quite childishly accepted external progress to be the ultimate progress of humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Saint of The Sapiens

“An insane impatience for death was driving mankind to a second suicide, even before the full effect of the first had been felt.”
― Anna Kavan, Ice

“Hiroshima had become the document of record about the true human cost of nuclear war, and was destined to remain so for decades.”
― Lesley M.M. Blume, Fallout: The Hiroshima Cover-up and the Reporter Who Revealed It to the World

“And he said...

...many will see two suns on their final day.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“No one spoke up to object to the indiscriminate killing of 600 million people in a U.S. government–led, preemptive, first-strike nuclear attack, Rubel wrote. Not any of the Joint Chiefs. Not the secretary of defense.”
― Annie Jacobsen

“We may see a nuclear war before we die. It is only a matter of time before a nuclear bomb is detonated in war. Wiping a warring city off the map with one bomb would be a clear statement to the world, as it was in 1945.”
― Steven Magee

“Remote rural areas have always been the best places to live during war.”

“We may see a nuclear war before we die.”

“- N∆iâˆ�, tell me, if I won't erase you, what then? What can I get for this?
- Are you serious, after what you saw last night?
- What did I see? That post-nuclear winter? I don't know what year it will be because no one wanted to tell me.
- Because there was no one there. That was obvious. Just this guy, probably older than me. He got lost too.
- There were the platform and buildings, some trees and those damned cobwebs. And him, he doesn't know where he came from, he didn't know himself, did he?
- He was probably lost if it wasn't his order. Or he was trying to warn you. And he was probably dead. That's my understanding. Anything else you want to know?
- I'll remember in a moment. I think these were all the biggest cities in the world.
- The smaller ones as well. You give me something and I give you something. The contract. If you can remove this Programme at all. People want the Anunnaki.”
