The unbearable lightness of being (1984)

  • 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.
  • And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?
  • Necessity, weight, and value are three concepts inextricably bound: only necessity is heavy, and only what is heavy has value.
Gosh! don't you think Milan Kundera is bizarre!
