Sherman Reilly Duffy of the pre-World War I CHICAGO DAILY JOURNAL once told a cub reporter, 'Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.' Well, socially I fit in just fine between the whore and the bartender. Both are close friends. And I knew the world was round. Yet, as time went by I found myself confronted with the ugly suspicion that the world was, after all, flat and that there were things dark and terrible waiting just over the edge to reach out and snatch life from the unlucky, unwary wanderer. ↗

C'est, j'entends bien, une faiblesse passagère car, en réalité, l'homme est toujours seul, qu'il veuille se l'avouer ou non. A vrai dire, la solitude qu'il se choisit parmi la foule, il la tient pour sublime, tandis qu'une solitude qui lui est infligée, il la voit comme une humiliation, comme une privation de ses élémentaires droits de citoyen. ↗

The thought that human beings are considering saving lives by killing millions of their fellow human beings is so preposterous that the words 'saving life' have lost all of their meaning. One of the most tragic facts of our century is that this 'No' to nuclear weapons has been spoken so seldom, so softly, and by so few. ↗
