"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been
given a large brain by mistake, scince for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to
civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable
love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despiceable an ignoreable war is; I would
rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the
cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein

Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most
revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot
be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility of control except through the
aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples of the world. We scientists recognise our
inescapable responsibility to carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic energy and its
implication for society. In this lies our only security and our only hope - we believe that an
informed citizenry will act for life and not for death.
A. Einstein, 1947 d.C.
