Milan Kundera

"The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything."

"Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it."

"Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation."
