Joseph Rotblat | "When the START 2 treaty has been implemented - and remember it has not yet been ratified - we will be left with some 15,000 nuclear warheads, active and in reserve. Fifteen thousand weapons with an average yield of 20 Hiroshima bombs."

War

"But the nuclear powers still cling tenaciously to their weapons."

Life

"The decision to use the atom bomb on Japanese cities, and the consequent buildup of enormous nuclear arsenals, was made by governments, on the basis of political and military perceptions."

Philosophy

"I appeal to my fellow scientists to remember their responsibility to humanity."

Humanity

"My parents were overprotective because you could get kidnapped and bombs were exploding in the streets."
