“A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same.

Looked at in this light, men like Democritus, Francis of Assisi, and Spinoza are closely akin to one another.”

Szilárd, which has been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect that the element uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future. Certain aspects of the situation seem to call for watchfulness and, if necessary, quick action on the part of the Administration. ...
This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable—though much less certain—that extremely powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed.

However, such bombs might well prove to be too heavy for transportation by air.”
