A person is nothing but his image. Philosophers can tell us that it doesn't matter what the world thinks of us, that nothing matters but what we really are. But philosophers don't understand anything. As long as we live with other people, we are only what other people consider us to be. Thinking about how others see us and trying to make our image as attractive as possible is considered a kind of dissembling or cheating. But does there exist another kind of direct contact between my self and their selves except through the mediation of the eyes? Can we possibly imagine love without anxiously following our image in the mind of the beloved? When we are no longer interested in how we are seen by the person we love, it means we no longer love.
Milan KunderaO mesmo cineasta do subconsciente que de dia lhe enviava pedaços da paisagem natal como imagens de felicidade, organizava-lhe de noite, regressos aterradores ao seu país. O dia era iluminado pela beleza do país abandonado, a noite pelo terror de lá voltar. O fia mostrava-lhe o paraíso que perdera, a noite o inferno de onde fugira.
Milan KunderaNão posso evocar essas velhas culturas antigas sem uma espécie de nostalgia. De nostalgia e inveja, ao pensar sem dúvida na suave lentidão da história naquele tempo.

In this country people don't respect the morning. An alarm clock violently wakes them up, shatters their sleep like the blow of an ax, and they immediately surrender themselves to deadly haste. Can you tell me what kind of day can follow a beginning of such violence? What happens to people whose alarm clock daily gives them a small electric shock? Each day they become more used to violence and less used to pleasure. Believe me, it is the mornings that determine a man's character.
Milan KunderaShe was in the grip of an insuperable longing to fall. She lived in a constant state of vertigo.
“Pick me up”, is the message of a person who keeps falling.

Milan Kunderaإذ يستطيع جيشان كبيران أن يتصارعا حتى الموت من أجل قضايا مقدسة، لكن بكتيريا صغيرة ونتنة تقضي دائما على الاثنين.
Milan Kunderaتختفي الذكريات إذا لم تُستحضر مرة وأخرى في أحاديث الأصدقاء.
Milan KunderaVê um jovem que se afasta da vida dela e se vai, parra sempre inacessível. Hipnotizada, nada pode fazer senão olhar esse pedaço da sua vida que se afasta, não pode senão olhá-lo e sofrer. Experimenta uma sensação inteiramente nova que se chama nostalgia.
Milan KunderaQuanto mais vasto é o tempo que deixámos para trás de nós, mais irresistivel é a voz que nos convida ao regresso.
