Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." -- J. Robert Oppenheimer (b. 1904-04-22, d. 1967-02-18), about the Trinity atomic bomb test in July 1945 (from a 1965 documentary). A similar bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on 1945-08-09, after an atomic bomb of a different design was dropped on Hiroshima on 1945-08-06.
