There is such thing as a 'smart bomb' - bombs are smart these days, you know.

But I think the bomb instead constitutes merely a first step in a new control by man over the forces of nature too revolutionary and dangerous to fit into old concepts.

As much as people want to call me a bomb-thrower, look at my record.

If we were handling a bomb which could go off at any minute as a result of our actions, we would mind ourselves and be delicate. Our words have the same power, yet we wield them around as though they were powerless and insignificant.

We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace.

The present reeks of mediocrity and the atom bomb.

One can become enthusiastic over anything. For a time I was delighted with bomb throwing. It gave me a tremendous pleasure to bomb those fellows from above.

When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.

I don't have the pressure of being a world-famous bombshell that has detonated.
