Famous quotes containing the words salted and/or bomb:

    “And salted was my food, and my repose,
    Salted and sobered, too, by the bird’s voice
    Speaking for all who lay under the stars,
    Soldiers and poor, unable to rejoice.”
    —Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    “What has kept the world safe from the bomb since 1945 has not been deterrence, in the sense of fear of specific weapons, so much as it’s been memory. The memory of what happened at Hiroshima.”
    —John Hersey (b. 1914)
