“Not speaks one who spoke, There speaks one who wilt speak, May another find what he will speak! Not a teller of tales after they happen. This has been done before ; Nor a teller of what might be said, This is vain endeavor, it is lies. And none will recall his name to others. I say this in accord with what I have seen: From the first generation to those who come after, They imitate that which is past.”

“The worst lie ever told is that it is easier to destroy than to create. This lie makes people apathetic about a number of imminently avoidable horrors, particularly the nuclear ones. But Oppenheimer didn’t just go outside one day and trip over an atomic bomb. Nuclear development required trillions of dollars and a massive sustained effort by America’s top politicians, military advisors, and scientific geniuses. Not one damn bit of it was easy. It was certainly harder that sitting down with Stalin or Khrushchev and having a talk . . . America had options. The path of destruction was a choice. It has always been America’s choice, and we citizens have always shrugged, assuming it’s too late to turn back the doomsday clock, although we’re the ones who wound it in the first place.”
