• O loss of sight, of thee I most complain! Blind among enemies, O worse than chains, dungeon or beggary, or decrepit age! Light, the prime work of God, to me is extinct, and all her various objects of delight annulled, which might in part my grief have eased. Inferior to the vilest now become of man or worm; the vilest here excel me, they creep, yet see; I, dark in light, exposed to daily fraud, contempt, abuse and wrong, within doors, or without, still as a fool, in power of others, never in my own; scarce half I seem to live, dead more than half.

  John Milton

• The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind
  any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to
  safeguard against its abuse. Only a supranational organization, equipped with a sufficiently
  strong executive power, can protect us.

• Nor do I take into account a danger of starting a chain reaction of a scope great enough to
  destroy part or all of the planet...But it is not necessary to imagine the earth being destroyed like a nova by a stellar explosion to understand vividly the grow ing scope of atomic war and to recognize that unless another war is prevented it is likely to bring destruction on a scale never before held possible, and even now hardly conceived, and that little civilization would survive it.

• Adventures are funny things.
  Many are merely happy accidents—a single spark that ignites an unexpected chain of events.
  But some adventures are meant for you and you alone.
  And whether you want them or not, they seek you out of a great crowd and take you somewhere you never thought you’d go.
  Often, these unlooked for adventures require a sacrifice too great to imagine.
