Scientific thought and its creation is the common and shared heritage of mankind.

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.

I'm afraid there's a big confusion in the world between nuclear power and nuclear arms.

The creation of Physics is the shared heritage of all mankind. East and West, North and South have equally participated in it.

Before Chernobyl or without Chernobyl the nuclear power was the safe thing.

Politicians - well, first of all, they should get rid of nuclear weapons, I think.

Alfred Nobel stipulated that no distinction of race or colour will determine who received of his generosity.

From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.

In this respect, the history of science, like the history of all civilization, has gone through cycles.

People either buy nuclear power, nuclear reactors from outside, and don't train their own men, or they just don't go into nuclear power at all, they are so afraid of it.

Mankind spends much more on training pilots of aircraft than it does to train the nuclear reactor operators.

Resistance is NOT futile.

Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene beside the concrete names of villages, the numbers of roads, the names of rivers, the numbers of regiments and the dates.

After all, trust is greater than love, and to truly trust another human-being is rare. Love can exist without trust, but trust cannot exist without love.

Capable, generous men do not create victims, they nurture victims.

I love the relays. Track is such an individual sport, so it's fun to do something together.

Women offer unique contributions to making and keeping peace - and that those contributions lead to better outcomes not just for women, but for entire societies.

It takes a while. It's gonna take you a while. It's normal to take a while. You just have to fight your way through that.

I pay what I have to and not a penny more.

I don't need words. It's all in the phrasing.

The thing I love most about being famous is people listening to me when I have something important to say.
