“I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”
“I carry no weight on my conscience.” “We knew the world would not be the same.” “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.” |
