Quote by Fred Woodworth

It seems like such a terrible shame that innocent civilians have to get hurt in wars, otherwise combat would be such a wonderfully healthy way to rid the human race of unneeded trash.

It seems like such a terrible shame that innocent civilians

Summary

This quote suggests a twisted perspective on warfare, emphasizing the notion that innocent civilians being hurt is regrettable, yet the overall sentiment seems to devalue their lives. It implies that military conflict could effectively eliminate undesirable individuals, detaching from the reality of human suffering. However, it is essential to understand that every life has value, and advocating violence as a solution to societal issues undermines the importance of empathy, diplomacy, and peaceful resolutions.

Scientists, therefore, are responsible for their research, not only intellectually but also morally. This responsibility has become an important issue in many of today's sciences, but especially so in physics, in which the results of quantum mechanics and relativity theory have opened up two very different paths for physicists to pursue. They may lead us - to put it in extreme terms - to the Buddha or to the Bomb, and it is up to each of us to decide which path to take.

But then they danced down the street like dingledodies, and shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes Awww!.
