Quotations

“For it is insanity to allow ourselves to be ruled by these weapons. . . Ours is the only reality that is possible. The alternative is unthinkable. . . The story of nuclear weapons will have an ending, and it is up to us what that ending will be. Will it be the end of nuclear weapons, or will it be the end of us?. . . To all nations: choose the end of nuclear weapons over the end of us!” (Nobel address, Dec. 10, 2017; photo celebmafia.com)
