Dưới mắt Tereza, sách vở là biểu tượng cho hội tình thương bí mật. Bởi đó là khí giới duy nhất cô có trong tay để chống chọi với cái thế giới thô bỉ, nhơ nhớp chung quanh cô. Nhất là tiểu thuyết. Cô đọc bất cứ quyển gì cô vớ được trong tay, từ Fielding cho đến Thomas Mann. Sách vở không những giúp cô tạm thời thoát khỏi đời sống buồn nản, chán ngắt cô đang vương mắc, nó còn mang ý nghĩa khác: cô rất thích đi bộ xuống phố, trên tay ôm một quyển sách. Với cô quyển sách có ý nghĩa giống như cách đây gần thế kỉ người đàn ông lịch sự, bảnh bao cầm trên tay cây can khi bước ra đường phố. Nhờ quyển sách cô thấy mình khác những người chung quanh.
Milan KunderaWe can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come. [...] There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always like a sketch. No, "sketch" is not quite the word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.

Milan KunderaЛюбой школьник на уроках физики может поставить опыт, чтобы убедиться в правильности той или иной научной гипотезы. Но человек, проживающий одну-единственную жизнь, лишён возможности проверить гипотезу опытным путём, и ему не дано узнать, должен был он или не должен был подчиниться своему чувству.
Milan KunderaYou know what it's like when two people start a conversation. First one of them does all the talking, the other breaks in with "That's just like me, I... " and goes on himself until his partner finds a chance to say, "That's just like me, I... "
The "That's just like me, I... 's" may look like a form of agreement, a way of carrying the other party's idea a step further, but that is an illusion...
She must jump from square to square, right leg first, then left, then both together, and make a show of caring whether or not she steps on a line. She must go on jumping day after day, bearing the burden of time on her shoulders like a cross that grows heavier from day to day.
