Milan Kundera Says

Milan Kundera Says

Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that’s beautiful.

….

You can’t measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.

….

When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.

….

Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.

….

A single metaphor can give birth to love.

A person who longs to leave the place where he lives is an unhappy person.

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden

The Greek word for return is nostos. Algos means suffering. So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.

.

The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man’s body.The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life’s most intense fulfillment.

People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It’s not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.
