Quotes edit

  • What happened at Hiroshima was less than a millionth part of a holocaust at present levels of world nuclear armament.
    • In The Fate of the Earth.
  • The Hiroshima people’s experience, is a picture of what our whole world is always poised to become, a backdrop of scarcely imaginable horror lying just behind the surface of our normal life, and capable of breaking through into that normal life at any second.”—The New Yorker, February 1, 1982.
