Quote by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

“Hay gente que pregunta: "¿Por qué usar la palabra "feminista"? ¿Por qué no decir simplemente que crees en los derechos humanos o algo parecido?". Pues porque no sería honesto. Está claro que el feminismo forma parte de los derechos humanos en general, pero elegir usar la expresión genérica "derechos humanos" supone negar el problema específico y particular del género. Es una forma de fingir que no han sido las mujeres quienes se han visto excluidas durante siglos. Es una forma de negar que el problema del género pone a las mujeres en el punto de mira.”

“The most striking impression was that of an overwhelming bright light. I had seen under similar conditions the explosion of a large amount—100 tons—of normal explosives in the April test, and I was flabbergasted by the new spectacle. We saw the whole sky flash with unbelievable brightness in spite of the very dark glasses we wore. Our eyes were accommodated to darkness, and thus even if the sudden light had been only normal daylight it would have appeared to us much brighter than usual, but we know from measurements that the flash of the bomb was many times brighter than the sun. In a fraction of a second, at our distance, one received enough light to produce a sunburn. I was near Fermi at the time of the explosion, but I do not remember what we said, if anything. I believe that for a moment I thought the explosion might set fire to the atmosphere and thus finish the earth, even though I knew that this was not possible.”
