Radiation Burns

Famous quotes containing the words radiation burns, radiation and/or burns:

“Radiation burns. Men did this to me. Men and their wars.”
—Charles Beaumont (1930–1967)

“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation “alter” nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

“But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flow’r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white—then melts for ever;”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
