If we all shamelessly loved each other, then death would be an easier pill to swallow. If we loved without regret, without guilt, without judgment—you know: shamelessly—then death would just be the price we paid for a love so grand.

“I thought scientists were going to find out exactly how everything worked, and then make it work better. I fully expected that by the time I was twenty-one, some scientist, maybe my brother, would have taken a color photograph of God Almighty—and sold it to Popular Mechanics magazine. Scientific truth was going to make us so happy and comfortable. What actually happened when I was twenty-one was that we dropped scientific truth on Hiroshima.”
