Sample of J. Robert Oppemnheimer: "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remebered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhavagad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that one way or another."
