Probable attribution
A source trail connects this quotation to Albert Einstein and p. 112, but the exact English wording has not been confirmed in a primary text. The attribution is therefore probable rather than definitive.
Likely origin: p. 112
Review the attribution sourceAbout this quote
This page records the wording "If I had foreseen Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I would have…," which centers on foreseen, hiroshima, nagasaki. A concrete trail points toward Einstein, but the exact English form remains unconfirmed; the page therefore labels it as attributed to him while preserving its wisdom and life context.
When to use it
- Use "If I had foreseen Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I would have…" in a wisdom discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of foreseen with hiroshima in a lesson, essay, or editorial note before drawing a conclusion.
- Before sharing it as Einstein's exact words, display the attribution caveat and follow the evidence link recorded on the page.
