"If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and Hiroshima. The peoples of this world must unite, or they will parish. This war, that has ravaged so much of the earth, has written these words. The atomic bomb has spelled them out for all men to understand.... By our works we are committed, committed to a world united, before this common peril, in law, and in humanity."

This is my favorite quote:
From "Darkness at Noon"

"I don't like to work, no man does. But I like what's in the work, the chance to find yourself, your own reality. For yourself, not for others. What no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and can never tell what it really means." - Joseph Conrad

Dan Quayle
When I have been asked during these last weeks who caused the riots and the killing in L.A., my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame.
