** In fact many uses of this quote are [[TropeCodifier actually quoting Oppenheimer]] [[OlderThanTheyThink quoting Gita]]. The meaning is frequently taken to be "I have the power!"... but that's [[MisaimedFandom not what Oppenheimer meant at all]]. The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between the god Krishna and the prince Arjuna, as Arjuna is about to go into battle against his cousins, his guru, the people who raised him, to secure the kingdom. Arjuna questions the rightness of such violence, and in response, Krishna transforms into his [[OneWingedAngel terrible, multi-armed aspect]], telling him that doing his moral duty is more important than anything else. Oppenheimer felt that he had done a terrible thing, that "the world would not be the same", but he thought of it as [[IDidWhatIHadToDo his duty]].
