“How long does it take for two armies to destroy each other when one has an abundance of bodies and the other an abundance of bullets?”
Sarah Mazza, I Dream in Color

Martin J. Rees
“The science done by the young Einstein will continue as long as our civilization, but for civilization to survive, we'll need the wisdom of the old Einstein -- humane, global and farseeing. And whatever happens in this uniquely crucial century will resonate into the remote future and perhaps far beyond the Earth, far beyond the Earth”
Martin J. Rees
