Additional quotes by Milan Kundera

We have no idea any more what it means to feel guilty. The communists have the excuse that Stalin misled them, murdurers have the excuse that their mothers didn't love them. And suddenly you come out and say: there is no excuse. No one could be more innocent in his soul and conscience than Oedipus, and yet he punished himself when he saw what he had done.

أما العيش في الحقيقة وعدم الكذب على أنفسنا وعلى الآخرين، فأمر غير ممكن، إلا إذا عشنا بعيداً عن الناس. فما أن يكون هناك شاهد على أعمالنا حتى نتأقلم طوعاً أو كرهاً مع العيون التي تراقبنا، فلا يعود أي شيء مما نقوم به حقيقياً. أن نحظى بجمهور، وأن نفكر في جمهور، فهذا يعني أن نعيش في الكذب.
