„Quickly would I make my path even,
And by mere playing go to heaven.“
— Henry Vaughan Welsh author, physician and metaphysical poet 1621 - 1695
"Childhood".
Silex Scintillans (1655)
Kontext: I cannot reach it, and my striving eye
Dazzles at it, as at eternity. Were now that chronicle alive,
Those white designs which children drive,
And the thoughts of each harmless hour,
With their content too in my pow'r,
Quickly would I make my path even,
And by mere playing go to heaven.
„The mere existence of modern weapons“
— John F. Kennedy 35th president of the United States of America 1917 - 1963
1961, UN speech
Kontext: Men no longer debate whether armaments are a symptom or a cause of tension. The mere existence of modern weapons — ten million times more powerful than any that the world has ever seen, and only minutes away from any target on earth — is a source of horror, and discord and distrust. Men no longer maintain that disarmament must await the settlement of all disputes — for disarmament must be a part of any permanent settlement. And men may no longer pretend that the quest for disarmament is a sign of weakness — for in a spiraling arms race, a nation's security may well be shrinking even as its arms increase.
