Sabina’s initial inner revolt against Communism was aesthetic rather t — Milan Kundera

"In the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the mans body."

"The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness."

"If a love is to be unforgettable, fortuities must immediately start fluttering down to it like birds to Francis of Assisis shoulders."

"Love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory."

"Love is our freedom."

"The goals we pursue are always veiled. A girl who longs for marriage longs for something she knows nothing about. The boy who hankers after fame has no idea what fame is. The thing that gives our every move its meaning is always totally unknown to us."
