Nuclear weapons could bring about the Book of Revelation in a matter of hours; they could do it today. . . . Events that we call "acts of God"--floods, earthquakes, eruptions--are flesh wounds compared to the human act of nuclear war:
a million Hiroshimas. -Martin Amis (1949- ) _Einstein's Monsters_ [1987]
I think that each and every one of us should look inside our own hearts and examine our own personal acts of terrorism, hatred, intolerance, negativity. We're all responsible. It's not just Bin Laden, it's all of us. We've all contributed to hatred in the world today. - Madonna (1958- )(In John D. Luerssen's _Mouthing Off: A Book of Rock and Roll Quotes_ [2002], "9.11.2001")
"I never thought of God as humorous," said Father Stone, coldly. "The Creator of the platypus, the camel, the ostrich, and Man? Oh, come now!" Father Peregrine laughed. - Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) _The Fire Balloons_ [1951]
[We] shall laugh in heaven not because of gags, not because of comical props, not because of slap-stick routines, but because of the essence of pure joy that will pervade the place. "The joy of the Lord" will be ours to a degree we never thought possible. -John Gilmore (1934- )
