3 quotes from American Prometheus

  • "We all knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent."
  • "In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose."
  • "What we believe to be the truth is often a projection of our own fears and dreams onto the world around us."
