“It invites a search for ultimate causes: why were Europeans, rather than Africans or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“In order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.”
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer • Mark Twain“I has no significance until it becomes the you to whom eternity incessantly speaks and says: you shall, you shall, you shall.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“Men of profound sadness betray themselves when they are happy: they have a way of embracing happiness as if they wanted to crush and suffocate it, from jealousy: alas, they know only too well that it will flee.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“I am going to tell you something you must not tell to any human being. We have split the atom. The report of the great experiment has just come in. A bomb was let off in some wild spot in New Mexico. It was only a thirteen-pound bomb, but it made a crater half a mile across. People ten miles away lay with their feet towards the bomb; when it went off they rolled over and tried to look at the sky. But even with the darkest glasses it was impossible. It was the middle of the night, but it was as if seven suns had lit the earth; two hundred miles away the light could be seen. The bomb sent up smoke into the stratosphere... It is the Second Coming. The secret has been wrested from nature.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
