Sometimes (more in sport than from real concern) I defended myself against the charge of individualism and demanded from the others proof that I was an individualist. For want of concrete evidence they would say: “ It´s the way you behave.” “How do I behave?” “You have a strange kind of smile”. “And If I do? That´s how I express my joy.”
“No, your smile is though you were thinking to yourself.
What those years said of themselves was that they were the most joyous of years, and anyone who failed to rejoice was immediately suspected of lamenting the victory of the working class or |what was equally sinful| giving way individualistically to inner sorrows.
Milan KunderaFiul lui Stalin si-a jertfit viata pe altarul cacatului. A muri pentru cacat nu inseamna o moarte pagubita de semnificatii. Nemtii care si-au sacrificat viata pentru a extinde cit mai departe spre rasarit granitele imperiului lor, rusii care au murit pentru a face ca puterea lor sa ajunga cit mai departe spre apus, da, acestia au murit intr-adevar jertfindu-se pe altarul unei prostii, iar moartea lor e lipsita de sens si de valoare generala. In schimb, moartea odraslei lui Stalin a fost singura metafora in toiul universalei imbecilitati a razboiului mondial.
Milan Kundera… kitschul este, in esenta, negatia absoluta a cacatului; atit in sensul propriu cit si in cel figurat al cuvintului; kitschul exclude din cimpul sau vizual tot ce-i esential inacceptabil in existenta umana.
Milan KunderaA novel is purposely a-philosophic, even anti-philosophic, fiercely independent of any system of preconceived ideas, it questions, it marvels, it doesn't judge, nor proclaims truths.

Kitsch" is a German word born in the middle of the sentimental nineteenth century, and from German is entered all Western languages. Repeated use, however, has obliterated its original metaphysical meaning: kitsch is the absolute denial of shit, in both the literal and figurative sense of the word; kitsch excludes everything from its purview which is essentially unacceptable in human existence.
Milan KunderaShit is a more onerous theological problem than is evil. Since God gave man freedom, we can, if need be, accept the idea that He is not responsible for man's crimes. The responsibility for shit, however, rests entirely with Him, the Creator of Man.
Milan KunderaMen who pursue a multitude of women fit neatly into two categories. Some seek their own subjective and unchanging dream of a woman in all women. Others are prompted by a desire to possess the endless variety of the objective female in the world.
Milan KunderaGeceden gündüze, uykudan uyanık yaşama geçmek için heykellerle çevrili bir köprü gibi ağır ağır aştığım bu sabah saatlerinin tembelliğini de çok sevdiğimi söylesem. Geceki düşlerimin sürdüğüne ve uykunun serüveniyle günün serüveninin bir uçurumla ayrılmadığına beni inandırıcak ani bir rastlantıya, küçük bir mucizeye sonsuz minnet duyacağım anıdır bugün
Milan KunderaПервое предательство непоправимо. Оно вызывает цепную реакцию дальнейших предательств, из которых каждое всё больше и больше отдаляет нас от точки нашего исходного предательства.
