Quotes and wishes: «Nuclear weapons»
Because of nuclear weaponsWhat is the only provocation that could bring about the use of nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the priority target for nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the only established defense against nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. How do we prevent the use of nuclear weapons? By threatening the use of nuclear weapons. And we can’t get rid of nuclear weapons, because of nuclear weapons. The intransigence, it seems, is a function of the weapons themselves.
(Einstein’s Monsters)

John Roos Quotes and wishes: «Nuclear weapons»

Lincoln Chafee Quotes and wishes: «Nuclear weapons»
Saving lifeThe thought that human beings are considering saving lives by killing millions of their fellow human beings is so preposterous that the words ’saving life’ have lost all of their meaning. One of the most tragic facts of our century is that this ’No’ to nuclear weapons has been spoken so seldom, so softly, and by so few.
