The novel is a meditation on existence as seen through the medium of imaginary characters  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Seeing is limited by two borders: Strong light, which blinds, and total darkness  (Milan Kundera Quotes) She knew that there were all kinds of ways to make a conquest and that one of the surest roads to a woman’s genitals was through her sadness  (Milan Kundera Quotes) In eroticism as dance: one of the partners is always charged with leading the other  (Milan Kundera Quotes) There is a secret bond between slowness and memory, between speed and forgetting  (Milan Kundera Quotes) The love between dog and man is idyllic, dogs were never expelled from paradise  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Sleep in my arms. Like a baby bird. Like a broom among brooms... in a broom closet. Like a tiny parrot. Like a whistle. Like a little song. A song sung by a forest... within a forest... a thousand years ago  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Kitsch excludes everything from its purview which is essentially unacceptable in human existence  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Sensuality is the total mobilization of the senses: an individual observes his partner intently, straining to catch every sound  (Milan Kundera Quotes) The rediscovered path, where were left the traces of childhood’s lost steps  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Children are the future, because mankind is moving more and more towards infancy  (Milan Kundera Quotes) At the end of true love is death, and only the love that ends in death is love  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Disgust at having to talk about oneself is what distinguishes novelistic talent from lyric talent  (Milan Kundera Quotes) We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold  (Milan Kundera Quotes) The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful...

Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Which doesn’t mean, of course, that I’d stopped loving her, that I’d forgotten her, or that her image had paled; on the contrary; in the form of a quiet nostalgia she remained constantly within me; I longed for her as one longs for something definitively lost  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, ahistorical accidents, soon forgotten  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Chance and chance alone has a message for us... Only chance can speak to us  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Chance and chance alone has a message for us. Everything that occurs because of necessity, everything expected, repeated day in and day out, is mute  (Milan Kundera Quotes) But what had happened, had happened, and it was no longer possible to right anything  (Milan Kundera Quotes) But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave  (Milan Kundera Quotes) To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress  (Milan Kundera Quotes) Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor.
