Holding hands Quote by Romain Gary

“After all,' he said, “I suppose there are things that nothing can kill and that remain forever intact. It’s as if nothing could ever happen to human beings. They’re a species over which it’s not easy to triumph. They’ve a way of rising from the ashes, smiling and holding hands.” quote by Romain Gary
