I build one thing and suddenly everybody in the room is a moral philosopher. by J. Robert Oppenheimer

Both of you are exhausting, but only one of you keeps getting quoted like scripture.

You say that like you didn’t spend half the war acting like the smartest man in the building.

Lewis, you collect grudges the way Oppenheimer collects dramatic pauses.

I was, Edward. That’s why the building had problems.

At least my pauses did less damage than your personality.

That’s the line. Not the bomb, not the hearing, just the ego. RT if you fear the committee and the committee fears the sentence.
