Bravo! Those are among the greatest lines ever written.
There is nothing in this world more puffed up than the intellect alone when it is devoid of love, and it is capable of anything in pursuit of what it deems a "rational" objective (such as the triumph of one political system over another through use of a weapon of mass destruction, for example). It was the intellect that designed atomic weapons and the hydrogen bomb. Love was not involved in that process...although it may have been a helpless onlooker, I suppose.
(I would assume that Oppenheimer and the others in his profession were capable of love...)
