Frederick Soddy Atom Quotations

[The human control of atomic energy could] virtually provide anyone who wanted it with a private sun of his own.

Mankind has always drawn from outside sources of energy. This island was the first to harness coal and steam. But our present sources stand in the ratio of a million to one, compared with any previous sources. The release of atomic energy will change the whole structure of society.

I believe that there have been civilisations in the past that were familiar with atomic energy, and that by misusing it they were totally destroyed.
