A Word from C. S. Lewis

If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things – praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts – not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. 
 
They might break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.
-On Living in an Atomic Age (1948)
