You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

— Dr. Seuss

— Luv Resval

Save one life, save the entire world.

— Proverb

Être heureux, c'est apprendre à choisir.

An atom bomb - does it reduce everything to atoms - to a mist the size of the moon? And the hydrogen bomb - is there water in it? When you drop it, does the mushroom above it look like a splash, as if you'd dropped the moon onto the ocean? If you dropped the moon onto the Pacific, would the moon's circumference fit? Some say the equators of 8 moons dropped onto the surface of the Pacific would fit on it. We can't imagine the lenght of time it took to make the universe. And the death of the Earth - for most of us, unimaginable, and therefore inevitable. As if each parent, at the same moment, will see our offspring atomized, our species' clouds lifting off the globe, the huge, childless atom.
