Bombs and tantrums, when the world grew bitter because the world fell somehow short of half-remembered Eden. The bitterness was essentially against God. Listen, Man, you have to give up the bitterness — “be granting shriv’ness to God,” as she’d say — before anything; before love.
But bombs and tantrums. They didn’t forgive.
— in Walter M. Miller Jr.’s A Canticle for Leibowitz
