....

"Loves are like empires: when the idea they are founded on crumbles, they, too, fade away."

"Oh lovers! be careful in those dangerous first days! once you've brought breakfast in bed you'll have to bring it forever, unless you want to be accused of lovelessness and betrayal."

"Physical love is unthinkable without violence."

"Flirting is a promise of sexual intercourse without a guarantee."

"A single metaphor can give birth to love."

"I want you to be weak. As weak as I am."

(The Unbearable Lightness of Being)
M. Kundera
