" If you had been here on that day and at that hour, if you had see the hell that opened up on Earth before our eyes, if you had even a glimpse of that, you would never, never entertain the crazy thought of another war. If there is another war, automatic bombs may explode everywhere and there will be no beautiful songs of distant Earth-no poems, no paintings, no music mo literature, no research. Only death. "

― Charles Pellegrino , The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back
