  • I want to make meditation an absolute for all students, whatever the subject they may be studying, so their awareness becomes more and more clean and clear. And out of that clarity we can create a beautiful world. Those scientists, if they are also meditators, will not create atomic bombs to destroy. They may use atomic energy to move trains so they don't pollute the air. They may use that atomic energy in the factories so they don't pollute air. Rather than killing man, the same atomic energy can be a tremendous help to save man and his future.

    Osho, Rajneesh (Bhagwan Shree) (1988). “The Greatest Challenge: The Golden Future : a Manifesto”
  • There is no likelihood that man can ever tap the power of the atom

  • Typical of the fundamental scientific problems whose solution should lead to important industrial consequences are, for example, the release of atomic energy, which experiment has shown to exist in quantities millions of times greater than is liberated by combustion.

  • Personally I think there is no doubt that sub-atomic energy is available all around us, and that one day man will release and control its almost infinite power. We cannot prevent him from doing so and can only hope that he will not use it exclusively in blowing up his next door neighbour. (1936)

  • Private enterprise did not get us atomic energy.

    John Kenneth Galbraith (1998). “The Affluent Society”, p.271, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time.

    Music   Mind   Energy  
    "Song: 'Uprising'". 1979.
  • Even present-day fuels possess more than enough energy, if only we knew how to release and use it. Just as molecular energy is so freely used to-day, so atomic energy may bring interplantary travel within easy reach to-morrow.

    Future   Energy   Use  
  • It's ridiculous that time and time again we need a radioactive cloud coming out of a nuclear power-station to remind us that atomic energy is extraordinarily dangerous.

    Clouds   Energy   Needs  
  • History will remember the twentieth century for two technological developments: atomic energy and space flight.

  • Since I do not forsee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the presence of fear, it would not do.

    Fear   Race   Order  
  • The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science; and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short. Referring to the discovery of atomic energy.

    Dark   Science   Blessing  
    Winston Churchill (1949). “The Sinews of Peace: Post-war Speeches”
  • I perfectly understand the particular attention which you pay to the question of nuclear energy, and fully realize the possible dangers and catastrophes which might result for mankind from an irresponsible attitude. In this field my wish is for Iran to put all her efforts towards the peaceful use of atomic energy. We shall continue to co-operate with all the nations of the world to attain this end in the interests of human society.

    Attitude   Iran   Effort  
    Message to the White House in April 1977. "The Shah's Story". Book by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, pp. 67-68, 1980.
  • This is the age of electrical energy. The age of atomic energy hasn't really dawned yet, not in the way that atomic energy has evolved in other worlds.

  • The International Atomic Energy Agency is controlling this, the sanctions against Iran are lifted - but still the US are working on their missile defense system. What is the point of this?

  • But Iran has gone far beyond what is necessary for a purely civilian programme. It has concealed several nuclear facilities from the International Atomic Energy Agency, played hide-and-seek with the international community, and rejected all offers of co-operation from the U.S., the EU, and others.

    "The case for western missile defence" by Anders Fogh Rasmussen, www.theguardian.com. March 31, 2010.
  • To talk of atomic energy in terms of atomic bombs is like talking of electricity in terms of the electric chair.

    Peace   War   Talking  
  • The conclusion, so vexatious to democracy, that wisdom and not popularity qualifies for rule may be forced upon us by the peril in atomic energy.

    Democracy   Energy   May  
    Richard M. Weaver (2013). “Ideas Have Consequences: Expanded Edition”, p.60, University of Chicago Press
  • 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.

    1955 The Sane Society.
  • No scientific subject has ever aroused quite the same mixture of hopes and fears [as atomic energy].

    Hope   Science   Mixtures  
  • One day he (Einstein) said that the only mechanical force more powerful than steam, electricity and atomic energy is will. That Albert guy was not stupid. With will you can achieve things.

    "Manchester United's José Mourinho: no longer the bright young iconoclast" by Jonathan Wilson, www.theguardian.com. September 22, 2016.
  • In the increasingly mechanized, automated, cybernated environment of the modern world a cold, bodiless world of wheels, smooth plastic surfaces, tubes, pushbuttons, transistors, computers, jet propulsion, rockets to the moon, atomic energy man's need for affirmation of his biology has become that much more intense.

    ELDRIDGE CLEAVER (1968). “SOUL ON ICE”
  • The future of the world, dependent as it is upon atomic energy, requires more understanding and knowledge about the atom.

  • We live technologically, with man as the master of nature, man as the engineer, and let anyone who raises his voice against it stop using bridges not built by nature.... No electric light bulbs, no engines, no atomic energy, no calculating machines, no anaesthetics-back to the jungle.

    Men   Light   Bridges  
    Max Frisch (2006). “Homo Faber”, p.131, Penguin UK
  • It is critically important that Iran should not develop nuclear weapons. And that the necessary interventions need to be made by the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure that, indeed, that does not happen, in the context of any nuclear generation of power.

    Interview with Lionel Barber and Alec Russell, www.ft.com. April 3, 2007.
  • Our scientists all the more occupy advanced positions in the development of world science. By the example of their successes in the field of atomic energy, our scientists and technicians have vividly shown how much the increased might of the Soviet state and the further growth of its international authority depends on their efforts and practical successes.

    Effort   Growth   Energy  
    Newsweek, Vol. 43, Issues 1-13, (p. 133), 1954.
  • At that time a senator who was on the Joint Committee of Atomic Energy said rather quietly, 'You know, we're having a little problem with waste these days.' I didn't know what he meant then, but I know now.

    Energy   Littles   Waste  
  • The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. (1945)

    Lying   Heart   Thinking  
  • Mankind has always drawn from outside sources of energy. This island was the first to harness coal and steam. But our present sources stand in the ratio of a million to one, compared with any previous sources. The release of atomic energy will change the whole structure of society.

  • None but ourselves can free our minds.

    "Redemption Song" (song) (1980)
  • We have got to accept Big Government for the duration-for neither an offensive nor a defensive war can be waged, given our present government skills, except through the instrument of a totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores. … And if they deem Soviet power a menace to our freedom (as I happen to), they will have to support large armies and air forces, atomic energy, central intelligence, war production boards, and the attendant centralization of power in Washington-even with Truman at the reins of it all.
