6556853 Tomas turned the key and switched on the ceiling light. Teraza saw two beds pushed together, one of them flanked by a bedside table and a lamp. Up out of the lampshade, startled by the overhead light, flew a large nocturnal butterfly that began circling the room. The strains of the piano and violin rose up weakly from below. Milan Kundera

aee6a11 No peace is possible between the novelist and the agelaste [those who do not laugh]. Never having heard God's laughter, the agelastes are convinced that the truth is obvious, that all men necessarily think the same thing, and that they themselves are exactly what they think they are. But it is precisely in losing the certainty of truth and the unanimous agreement of others that man becomes an individual. The novel is the imaginary paradise .. laughter truth uniformity essay individual art uncertainty novel Milan Kundera
e1551eb 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.. words Milan Kundera
dfc31fe However much he may tell her he loves her and thinks her beautiful, his loving gaze could never console her. Because the gaze of love is the gaze that isolates. Jean-Marc thought about the loving solitude of two old persons become invisible to other people: a sad solitude that prefigures death. No, what she needs is not a loving gaze but a flood of alien, crude, lustful looks settling on her with no good will, no discrimination, no tenderne.. Milan Kundera

7dbb073 Svijetla kosa i tamna kosa, to su dva pola ljudskog karaktera. Tamna kosa znaci muzevnost, odvaznost, otvorenost i poduzetnost, dok je svijetla kosa simbol zenstvenosti, njeznosti, bespomocnosti i pasivnosti. Plavusa je, prema tome, dvostruka zena. Princeza mora biti plavokosa. Zato zene, da bi bile zenstvenije, boje kosu u zuto, a nikad u crno. Milan Kundera

Nowadays, history moves at a brisk clip. A historical event, though soon forgotten, sparkles the morning after with the dew of novelty. No longer a backdrop, it is now the itself, an adventure enacted before the backdrop of the commonly accepted banal.. Milan Kundera

3796e4f Horror is a shock, a time of utter blindness. Horror lacks every hint of beauty. All we can see is the piercing light of an unknown event awaiting us. Sadness, on the other hand, assumes we are in the know... The light of horror thus lost its harshness, and the world was bathed in a gentle, bluish light that actually beautified it. sadness harshness horror Milan Kundera
8ff8279 She felt attracted by their weakness as by vertigo. She felt attracted by it because she felt weak herself. Again she began to feel jealous and again her hands shook. When Tomas noticed it, he did what he usually did: he took her hands in his and tried to calm them by pressing hard. She tore them away from him. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Nothing." "What do you want me to do for you?" "I want you to be old. Ten years older. Twenty years.. Milan Kundera
