"The mind supplies the idea of a nation, but what gives this idea its sentimental force is a community of dreams."

This world of ours is a new world, in which the unit of knowledge, the nature of human communities, the order of society, the order of ideas, the very notions of society and culture have changed, and will not return to what they have been in the past. What is new is new, not because it has never been there before, but because it has changed in quality.

— J. Robert Oppenheimer
