Famous quotes containing the words long-lived, fission and/or product:
“It is only a transjectus, a transitory voyage, like life itself, none but the long-lived gods bound up or down the stream.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
“A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.”
—Al Capp (1909–1979)
