| 348eb20 | Ve um jovem que se afasta da vida dela e se vai, parra sempre inacessivel. Hipnotizada, nada pode fazer senao olhar esse pedaco da sua vida que se afasta, nao pode senao olha-lo e sofrer. Experimenta uma sensacao inteiramente nova que se chama nostalgia. | Milan Kundera | ||
| 5ab210c | Mientras que las personas son jovenes y la composicion musical de su vida esta aun en los primeros compases, pueden escribirla juntas e intercambiarse motivos, pero cuando se encuentran y ya son mayores, sus composiciones musicales estan mas o menos cerradas y cada palabra, cada objeto significa una cosa distinta en la composicion de la una y en la de la otra | Milan Kundera | ||
| b3b0ab3 | En travaux pratiques de physique, n'importe quel collegien peut faire des experiences pour verifier l'exactitude d'une hypothese scientifique. Mais l'homme, parce qu'il n'a qu'une seule vie, n'a aucune possibilite de verifier l'hypothese par l'experience de sorte qu'il ne saura jamais s'il a eu tort ou raison d'obeir a son sentiment. (partie I, ch. 16) | living | Milan Kundera | |
| 2bd2a67 | le but que l'on poursuit est toujours voile. Une jeune fille qui a envie de se marier a envie d'une chose qui lui est tout a fait inconnue. Le jeune homme qui court apres la gloire n'a aucune idee de ce qu'est la gloire. Ce qui donne un sens a notre conduite nous est toujours totalement inconnu. (partie III, ch. 10) | willpower | Milan Kundera | |
| b6e1a53 | Etre elu est une notion theologique qui veut dire : sans aucun merite, par un verdict surnaturel, par une volonte libre, sinon capricieuse, de Dieu, on est choisi pour quelque chose d'exceptionnel et d'extraordinaire. C'est dans cette conviction que les saints ont puise la force de supporter les plus atroces supplices. Les notions theologiques se refletent, telle leur propre parodie, dans la trivialite de nos vies ; chacun de nous souffre (.. | living | Milan Kundera | |
| 9958719 | Sigo teniendo ante mis ojos a Teresa, sentada en un tocon, acariciando la cabeza de Karenin y pensando en la debacle de la humanidad. En ese momento recuerdo otra imagen: Nietzsche sale de su hotel en Turin. Ve frente a el un caballo y al cochero que lo castiga con el latigo. Nietzsche va hacia el caballo y, ante los ojos del cochero, se abraza a su cuello y llora. Esto sucedio en 1889, cuando Nietzsche se habia alejado ya de la gente. Dich.. | Milan Kundera | ||

Nunca se esquecia de que coma idade de cinco anos era ja considerado como uma crianca excepcional, diferente das outras; o comportamento dos seus colegas de turma, que trocavam da pasta ou da camisa dele, confirmara-o, do mesmo modo (por vezes, duramente), na sua singularidade. Mas, ate aqui, essa singularidade nao fora para ele mais do que uma no.. | Milan Kundera | ||
| 59a7711 | Agora, o pintor dissertava longamente acerca da composicao: o que ha de mais bonito nos sonhos, dizia, e o encontro improvavel de seres e de coisas que nao poderiam encontrar-se na vida corrente; num sonhos, um barco pode entrar por uma janela num quarto de dormir, uma mulher que ja nao esta viva ha vinte anos pode aparecer deitada numa cama e, contudo, ei-la a subir para o barco que se transforma acto continuo em caixao e o caixao poe-se a.. | Milan Kundera | ||

| b9bbca6 | Un drama vital siempre puede expresarse mediante una metafora referida al peso. Decimos que sobre la persona cae el peso de los acontecimientos. La persona soporta esa carga o no la soporta, cae bajo su peso, gana o pierde. ?Pero que le sucedio a Sabina? Nada. Habia abandonado a un hombre porque queria abandonarlo. ?La persiguio el? ?Se vengo? No. Su drama no era el drama del peso, sino el de la levedad. Lo que habia caido sobre Sabina no e.. | levedad metafora peso title-drop | Milan Kundera | |

| 9f7d4ed | Narodi se likvidiraju tako da im se najprije oduzme sjecanje. Uniste im se knjige, obrazovanje, povijest. Netko drugi im napise druge knjige, da im drugo obrazovanje i izmisli drugu povijest. I narod onda postupno pocne zaboravljati sto je bio i sto je sada, a svijet oko njega to zaboravi jos mnogo brze. | Milan Kundera | ||
| 5ef2ee0 | It is wrong, then, to chide the novel for being fascinated by mysterious coincidences (like the meeting of Anna, Vronsky, the railway station, and death or the meeting of Beethoven, Tomas, Tereza, and the cognac), but it is right to chide man for being blind to such coincidences in his daily life. For he thereby deprives his life of a dimension of beauty. | Milan Kundera | ||

How would I explain that he embodied all the evils in my life?

| 2b3d93b | He thus didn't find himself outside the limits of his experience; he was high above it. His distaste for himself remained down below; down below he had felt his palms become sweaty with fear and his breath speed up; but here, up high in his poem, he was above his paltriness, the key-hole episode and his cowardice were merely a trampoline above which he was soaring; he was no longer subordinate to his experience, his experience was subordina.. | Milan Kundera | ||

| bee897a | It takes so little, so infinitely little, for a person to cross the border beyond which everything loses meaning: love, convictions, faith, history. Human life -- and herein lies its secret -- takes place in the immediate proximity of that border, even in direct contact with it; it is not miles away, but a fraction of an inch | Milan Kundera | ||

Jer su nekadasnja zanimanja, barem velikim dijelom, bila nezamisliva bez strastvene predanosti: seljaci zaljubljeni u svoju zemlju; moj djed, carobnjak lijepih stolova; postolari su znali napamet stopala svojih suseljana; sumari; vrtlari; pretostavljam da su tada cak i vojnici ubijali sa strascu.

| ca9f610 | I'd never recited poetry to anyone before; I've never done it since. I have a highly sensitive, built-in fuse mechanism that keeps me from opening up too far, from revealing my feelings, and reciting poetry makes me feel as though I'm talking about my feelings and standing on one leg at the same time. | intimacy kundera poetry vulnerability | Milan Kundera | |

| 98a9b9b | She pictures his jovial figure, dressed up in his T-short, shouting that Kafka was born in Prague, and she feels a desire rising through her body, the irrepressible desire to take a lover. Not to patch up her life as it is. But to turn it completely upside down. Finally take possession of her own fate. | Milan Kundera | ||
| c39019e | Es una ilusion ingenua creer que nuestra imagen no es mas que una apariencia tras la cual esta escondido nuestro yo como la unica esencia verdadera, independientemente de los ojos del mundo.

| a413874 | But there was something more precious than his poems; something far away he didn't yet possess and longed for--manliness; he knew that it could only be attained by action and courage; and if courage meant courage to be rejected, rejected by everything, by the beloved woman, by the painter, and even by his own poems--so be it: he wanted to have that courage. And so he said: "Yes, I know that the revolution has no need for my poems. I regret .. | Milan Kundera | ||

| 076fd09 | Man proceeds in the fog. But when he looks back to judge people of the past, he sees no fog on their path. From his present, which was their faraway future, their path looks perfectly clear to him, good visibility all the way. Looking back, he sees the path, he sees the people proceeding, he sees their mistakes, but not the fog. | Milan Kundera | ||
| 4d1d6e4 | During the last ten years of his life my father gradually lost the power of speech. At first he simply had trouble calling up certain words or would say similar words instead and then immediately laugh at himself. In the end he had only a handful of words left, and all his attempts at saying anything more substantial resulted in one of the last sentences he could articulate: 'That's strange.' Whenever he said 'That's strange,' his eyes woul.. | laughter | Milan Kundera | |
