But scientists on both sides of the iron curtain played a very significant role in maintaining the momentum of the nuclear arms race throughout the four decades of the Cold War.

The present basic philosophy is nuclear deterrence.

I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science.

The cold war is over, but cold war thinking survives.

I saw science as being in harmony with humanity.

I appeal to my fellow scientists to remember their responsibility to humanity.

My third appeal is to my fellow citizens in all countries: Help us to establish lasting peace in the world.

Indeed, the very first resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations - adopted unanimously - called for the elimination of nuclear weapons.

A satyagrahi may not ride two horses, truth and untruth, at the same time, nor, to change the metaphor, trim his sail to catch every breeze as you do in the name of communism.

Every bird that upwards swings Bears the Cross upon its wings.

Death a friend that alone can bring the peace his treasures cannot purchase, and remove the pain his physicians cannot cure.

All is but lip-wisdom which wants experience.

The life that the dawn brings us is the only life we have. Life is in the here and now, not in the there and afterwards.
