the quote is:
"I am paralyzed. If I let it touch me I cry. I can comprehend but I cannot act on my comprehension. I am blind. I am scared. Its aloofness and power is so great, its magnitude so complete, its consequences so disastrous, its inevitability so real, I get lost in helplessness but I cannot. I am every human being on Earth and it is nuclear war"

This phrase was a solution to a cipher in the 80's, so it can only be from works prior to 1985. Google search of the keywords yields no information.

Sounds similar to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream Definitely sounds like Ellison, perhaps some other story
