Bertrand Russell Quotes 366

WYATT: Surely the H-bomb is a weapon of an entirely different character. It's not just a larger weapon in the same field, but something which makes it an entirely different sort of instrument.

RUSSELL: Yes, but people get used to things so frightfully quickly. When the atomic bomb was dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki the world was struck with terror, and they thought, "How very dreadful this is."
