“Amore significa rinunciare alla forza.”
(Milan Kundera)
Varolmanın dayanılmaz hafifliği
-Milan Kundera
“For there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one’s own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.”
Milan Kundera,The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
She now knew there were conditions under which she could feel strong and fulfilled, and she longed to go off into the world and seek those conditions somewhere else.
Milan Kundera,The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
“We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come.
(…)
There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?”
Milan Kundera,The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
“In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.”
