Kundera

Famous quotes containing the word kundera:

    There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one’s own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    Hate traps us by binding us too tightly to our adversary.
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    The light that radiates from the great novels time can never dim, for human existence is perpetually being forgotten by man and thus the novelists’ discoveries, however old they may be, will never cease to astonish.
