It’s a poor atom blaster that won’t point both ways.

Part V, The Merchant Princes, section 18Isaac Asimov
An atom blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways.
Isaac Asimov
Poor old Spotty Muldoon. He thought of splitting the atom the other day. If only he could have had the idea about thirty years ago, he'd have made a bloody fortune.
Peter Cook
The scientists split the atom; now the atom is splitting us.
Quentin Reynolds
...experimental physics was particularly interested in the processes taking place inside the atom, and in this field the classical mechanics was failing conspicuously and completely. Perhaps its most spectacular failure was with the fundamental problem with the structure of the atom.
James Jeans
I was reading in the paper the other day about those birds who are trying to split the atom, the nub being that they haven't the foggiest as to what will happen if they do. It may be all right. On the other hand, it may not be all right. And pretty silly a chap would feel, no doubt, if, having split the atom, he suddenly found the house going up in smoke and himself torn limb from limb.
