Author of quotes: Vladimir Gakov

Believe that in the future the policy will not have such influence on daily life, as in the past.

Even if one country would constantly arm themselves, build weapons, and the other will do nothing, then the country that is arming, still not benefit from it. The weak side may simply blow up all of their nuclear warheads on its territory, and it would mean suicide for it and a slow killing for the adversary. Miracema is what it is.

While our planet remains, so to speak, mined, our every move, the slightest careless movement and disguised the wire will hurt the burst of the explosion. And then - the next day - no one will understand how it happened.

The effect of habituation, instinctive reaction is weary of the human brain for possible overheating... as horrible As it sounds, but we got used to the situation hanging over us nuclear sword of Damocles - just try not to think about him, turned his attention to other concerns.

In ancient times, men with guns in the hands of experienced immoral act of killing his own kind, by convincing themselves that fighting for their children. Today men put their children to die for you.

The second world war, although it is in human history as the most bloody, after all, is left entirely in the epoch - dautomne. When there was still opposition "to fight" - "fight against". If we talk about the war with use of nuclear weapons, regardless of who will use it first, the war from the beginning, go as unrighteous. Because it starts as a war against all - against humanity.

Still, bad whether well, you can always decline to participate in history. One who did not approve of, often could be silent or talk about something else. Today things have changed, and the silence has acquired dreadful meaning.

Was there another in the history of the century, knowing so clearly that it can do good, but with such stubborn persistence created evil? I doubt it. And this doubt of mine makes me feel the special responsibility of mankind, which had no precedent in any of the past centuries.

A nuclear war would bring humanity to barbarism and a return to savagery.

The way many physicists who are intimately connected with the bomb was indeed indirect; often confusing, winding road led to an awareness of their responsibility. It was the way of participation and complicity in murderous "physics" to understanding that she needs to be stopped.

No matter how "upgrade" the bomb, like it or rationalizing, it does not cease to be a bomb - that is a device for killing a huge number of people. Sometimes I think I would protest if mankind put all the scientists to one wall and shot...

The sight of the reader of fiction is special: it is forward-looking. What he falls, has a "propensity" to come true sooner than we think.

Many days and nights I was thinking about the horrors of total destruction and came to the conclusion that we inherited is still very small planet. We can hold out with our stupid nationalism, intolerance and prejudice. So if we want to live, you need something to do.

Disgusting I seem to be policies that have brought honesty and integrity to sacrifice the desire for personal power, as well as the so-called "Christians" blessing the weapons of war and absolve those who dropped the atomic bomb, used Napalm against Vietnamese children.
