I think that thing about the destruction of the world is there all the time, it's there every day when we look out the window. Peter Carey
The destruction of the atom [the split of it, in modern physics] seemed to me to be the same as the destruction of the world.... science to me appeared to be dead: its most important basis was only a lunacy, a mistake perpetrated by learned men.... who blindly mistook one object for another. Wassily Kandinsky
