From this point on, my freedom is purer: this act I commit today will have neither God nor man as its everlasting witness. I have to be, now and for all eternity, my own witness. I have to be moral on this booby-trapped earth because I want to be. And if the whole of humanity continues to live, it will do so not simply because it has been born but because it will have decided to prolong its life. There is no longer any human species. The community that has appointed itself guardian of the atom bomb stands above the realm of nature, being responsible now for its life and death. — Jean-Paul Sartre, The End of the War
