You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings b... - Milan Kundera

"The characters in my novels are my own unrealised possibilities. That is why I am equally fond of them all and equally horrified by them. Each one has crossed a border that I myself have circumvented."

"Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful."

"You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself."

"Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company."
