“People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone.

― Milan Kundera

“Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.”

“She had an overwhelming desire to tell him, like the most banal of women. Don't let me go, hold me tight, make me your plaything, your slave, be strong! But they were words she could not say.

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?”
