    Milan Kundera
    “Graphomania (a mania for writing books) inevitably takes on epidemic proportions when a society develops to the point of creating three basic conditions: -

    (1) an elevated level of general well being which allows people to devote themselves to useless activities
    (2) a high degree of social atomization and , as a consequence, a general isolation of individuals;
    (3) the absence of dramatic social changes in the nation's internal life.”
    ― Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
