Gytha Ogg, you wouldn't be a witch if you couldn't jump to conclusions, right?" Nanny nodded. "Oh, yes." There was no shame in it.

Drone strikes, Albert Camus would argue, are not just meant to kill. They are programmed to terrorize.

These new circuitries of death are meant to humiliate, subdue and dehumanize. — Jeffrey St. Clair

A man who has been shaken by a two-ton blockbuster has a frame of reference. He can equate the impact of an H-bomb with his own experience, even though the H-bomb blast is a million times more powerful than the shock he endured.

It is not something that incinerates you to a cinder in the thousandth part of a second. So the H-bomb is beyond the imagination of all but a few Americans, while the British, Germans, and Japanese can comprehend it, if vaguely. And only the Japanese have personal understanding of atomic heat and radiation. — Pat Frank
