Hiroshima Quotes
You have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes. You're sitting in Baghdad and all of a sudden you're the general and 30 of your division headquarters have been wiped out. You also take the city down. By that I mean you get rid of their power, water. In two, three, four, five days they are physically, emotionally and psychologically exhausted.
- Harlan Ullman

What happened at Hiroshima was not only that a scientific breakthrough had occurred and that a great part of the population of a city had been burned to death, but that the problem of the relation of the triumphs of modern science to the human purposes of man had been explicitly defined.
- Archibald MacLeish
