He was repelled by the pettiness that reduced life to mere existence and that turned men into half-men. He wanted to lay his life on a balance, the other side of which was weighted with death. He wanted to make his every action, every day, yes, every hour and minute worthy of being measured against the ultimate, which is death.

Milan Kundera

Is goodwill so fragile, so precarious a thing, then? (Of course, dear fellow, of course)

Mislim, dakle postojim je rečenica intelektualca koji potcjenjuje zubobolju.
Osjećam, dakle postojim mnogo je šire primjenjiva istina i tiče se svega živog.
Moje ja u osnovi se ne razlikuje od vašeg onim što misli. Ljudi je mnogo, ideja je malo: svi mislimo približno jednako i ideje jedni drugima predajemo, posuđujemo, krademo.
Kad mi pak netko stane na nogu, bol osjećam samo ja. Osnova ja nije mišljenje, nego patnja koja je najosnovniji od svih osjećaja. U patnji ni mačka ne može sumnjati u svje nezamjenjivo ja. U snažnoj patnji svijet nestaje i svatko od nas je sam sa sobom.
Patnja je sveučilište egocentrika.

Milan Kundera

The novel was born with the Modern Era, which made man, to quote Heidegger, the "only real subject," the ground for everything. It is largely through the novel that man as an individual was established on the European scene. Away from the novel, in our real lives, we know very little about our parents as they were before our birth; we have only fragmentary knowledge of the people close to us: we see them come and go and scarcely have they vanished than their place is taken over by others: they form a long line of replaceable beings. Only the novel separates out an individual, trains a light on his biography, his ideas, his feelings, makes him irreplaceable: makes him the center of everything.
