A portion of an interview given by Oppenheimer after the test of FIRST ATOMIC BOMB - code named TRINITY in New Mexico, USA:
“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”
― J. Robert Oppenheimer (American theoretical physicist, Often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb")
