When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you ha...ve had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When man entered the atomic age, he opened a door into a new world. What we eventually find in that new world, nobody can predict.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
You know, if this is Venus, or some other strange planet, we're liable to run into some high-domed characters with green blood in ...their veins who'll blast at us with their atomic death rayguns, and there we'll be with these--these poor old-fashioned shootin' irons.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
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.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is now time to stop and to ask ourselves the question which my last commanding officer, Admiral Hyman Rickover, asked me and ev...ery other young naval officer who serves or has served in an atomic submarine.

Quite often ... these little guys, who might be making atomic weapons or who might be guilty of some human rights violation ... ar...e looking for someone to listen to their problems and help them communicate.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of thin...gs today. That is the atomic, and sub-atomic, and galactic structure of things today. And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature! And you will atone! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We live technologically, with man as the master of nature, man as the engineer, and let anyone who raises his voice against it sto...p using bridges not built by nature.... No electric light bulbs, no engines, no atomic energy, no calculating machines, no anaesthetics--back to the jungle.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the... fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced--by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
