Milan Kundera Quote
Keep this in mind: it is our religion to praise life. The word life is the king of words. The kingword surrounded by other grand words. The word adventure! The word future! And the word hope! By the way, do you know the code name for the atomic bomb they dropped on Hiroshima? Little Boy! That's a genius, the fellow who invented that code! They couldn't have dreamed up a better one. Little boy, kid, tyke, tot - there's no word that's more tender, more touching, more loaded with future.
