" We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. "
- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky,
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of Worlds.
The Bhagavad-Gita (Quoted by Oppenheimer after Trinity)

It took universe 14.5 bilion
years to create a man. Man can destroy himself in one hour.
