    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Take adultery or theft.
    Merely sins.
    It is evil who dines on the soul,
    stretching out its long bone tongue.
    It is evil who tweezers my heart,
    picking out its atomic worms.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
