Fission Power

Famous quotes containing the words fission and/or power:

“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

“The continuance of our passions is no more in our own power than the term of our life.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
