Carl took on the military-industrial complex. He campaigned around the world for an end to the production of weapons of mass destruction. To him it was a perversion of science.

Weapons of mass destruction aren't pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They're produced in factories. There's science and technology involved. They're not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.

Indeed the whole human species is endangered by nuclear weapons or by other means of wholesale destruction which further advances in science are likely to produce.

But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.

Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.

The sad part about our past is that religions ironically enough are responsible for creating the most destructive idea that has ever been visited upon the human race: the idea that there is such a thing as 'better.'

Thus it was to seek true civilization and true justice for all the peoples of the world and to view this as the destruction of personal freedom and respect is to be assailed by the hatred and emotion of war and to make hasty judgments.

We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self. When it results in mass destruction and hatred and anxiety it's the antithesis I think of what religion was designed to do.

Liberalism is a religion. Its tenets cannot be proved its capacity for waste and destruction demonstrated. But it affords a feeling of spiritual rectitude at little or no cost.

In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature throwing myself into things but now times have changed I want a relationship where you understand the other person.

I'm working on my relationship with my mother and father but my upbringing has been very destructive.

There's such an extreme feeling to be in love especially in quite an emotionally destructive relationship where you're both kind of really bad for each other but you love each other so much. Those extreme emotions I think can only be described with extreme imagery.

Sometimes power is all a person has so they will protect it even unto their own destruction for without power they have nothing.

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction to wit: by consolidation of power first and then corruption its necessary consequence.

The result is - document destruction - we're really not going to be able to prove beyond a truth the negatives and some of the positive conclusions that we're going to come to. There will be always unresolved ambiguity here.

Moreover behind this vague tendency to treat religion as a side issue in modern life there exists a strong body of opinion that is actively hostile to Christianity and that regards the destruction of positive religion as absolutely necessary to the advance of modern culture.

Everything that's bad for you catches on too quickly in America because that's the easiest thing to get people to invest in the pursuits that are easy and destructive the ones that bring out the least positive aspects of people.

I think that you can disagree with people and debate over their positions with issues without engaging in the politics of personal destruction.

The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else poetry in terms of psychology.

We are a Nation of peace and compassion yet these people have and will devote every fiber of their beings to the destruction of Americans and our Country.

Yes peace can and must be won to save the world from the terrible destruction of World War III.

And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.

There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.

The aggressive unprovoked acts of violence against Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas are revealing. It is clear they don't want peace but rather seek the ultimate destruction of Israel.
