The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.
Milan Kundera

She knew that there were all kinds of ways to make a conquest and that one of the surest roads to a woman's genitals was through her sadness.
Milan Kundera
Image
Living, there is no happiness in that. Living: carrying one’s painful self through the world. But being, being is happiness. Being: Becoming a fountain, a fountain on which the universe falls like warm rain.

Radio... force-feeds us music... everywhere and all the time... sewage-water music in which music is dying.
