The Release Of Atomic Power Has Changed

I Must Seem Like An Ostrich Who Forever Burries Its Head In The Relativistic Sands In Order Not To Face The Evil Quanta.

The Physicist's Greatest Tool Is His Wastebasket.

I Sometimes Ask Myself How It Came About That I Was The One To Develop The Theory Of Relativity. The Reason, I Think, Is That A Normal Adult Never Stops To Think About Problems Of Space And Time. These Are Things Which He Has Thought About As A Child. Bu T My Intellectual Development Was Retarded,as A Result Of Which I Began To Wonder About Space And Time Only When I Had Already Grown Up.

I Know That It Is A Hopeless Undertaking To Debate About Fundamental Value Judgements. For Instance, If Someone Approves, As A Goal, The Extirpation Of The Human Race From The Earth, One Cannot Refute Such A Viewpoint On Rational Grounds. But If There Is Agreement On Certain Goals And Values, One Can Argue Rationally About The Means By Which These Objectives May Be Obtained.

My Pacifism Is Not Based On Any Intellectual Theory But On A Deep Antipathy To Every Form Of Cruelty And Hatred.
