It was because of my deep concerns about nuclear weapons that I went to Hiroshima. And then I was astounded in Hiroshima to find that nobody had really studied it.

The atom was unleashed in 1946, right when all this stuff was occurring. And the bomb's incredible release of energy and light may have signalled somebody in a dimension which is sharing space with us very closely.

The use of the atomic bomb, with its indiscriminate killing of women and children, revolts my soul.

Until four years ago, in fact, I was absolutely in love with the atom.

The real abhorrent consequence of the invention of atomic bombs is the fact that we still have them and they're spreading.

Being bombastic for the sake of being bombastic has just never been my take on the world.

When I was 10 years old, that nuclear spark hit me. Whatever it may be, I really don't know what it was about nuclear science, but whatever it was that triggered that interest, it stuck. I went after that one with a passion.

The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.

I would say that I was absolutely convinced of the possibility of our making an uranium engine, but I never thought that we would make a bomb; and at the bottom of my heart, I was really glad that it was to be an engine and not a bomb.
