Letter "M" » Milan Kundera Quotes
«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.»
«The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen.»

«Let us consider the critic, therefore, as a discoverer of discoveries.»

«High culture is nothing but a child of that European perversion called history, the obsession we have with going forward, with considering the sequence of generations a relay race in which everyone surpasses his predecessor, only to be surpassed by his successor. Without this relay race called history there would be no European art and what characterizes it: a longing for originality, a longing for change. Robespierre, Napoleon, Beethoven, Stalin, Picasso, they're all runners in the relay race, they all belong to the same stadium.»
«Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud.»
«O lovers! Be careful in those dangerous first days! Once you?ve brought breakfast in bed you?ll have to bring it forever, unless you want to be accused of lovelessness and betrayal.»
«Listening to a news broadcast is like smoking a cigarette and crushing the butt in the ashtray.»
