"It is normal to be afraid of nuclear weapons. I would condemn no one for that. But the generation now coming out of Western schools is unable to distinguish good from bad-even those words are unacceptable. This results in impaired thinking ability. Isaac Newton, for example, would never have been taken in by communism. These young people will soon look back on photographs of their own demonstrations and cry. But it will be too late. I say to them: "You're protesting nuclear arms. But are you prepared to try to defend your homeland with non-nuclear arms?" No! These young people are unprepared for any kind of struggle."
"How can a man who is warm understand a man who is cold?"
