Milan Kundera
she loved to walk down the street with a book under her arm. It had the same significance for her as an elegant cane for the dandy a century ago. It differentiated her from others.
Milan Kundera
Even in the game there lurks a lack of freedom even in a game is a trap for the players.
Milan Kundera
Any new possibility that existence acquires, even the least likely, transforms everything about existence.
Milan Kundera
