On Hiroshima - Kurt Vonnegut

This quote was added by weesin
I fully expected that by the time I was twenty-one, some scientist would have taken a color photograph of God Almighty and sold it to Popular Mechanics magazine. Scientific truth was going to make us so happy and comfortable. What actually happened when I was twenty-one was that we dropped scientific truth on Hiroshima.

Kurt was actually 22, almost 23, when the US dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
