Additional quotes by Milan Kundera

That is why she dislikes dreams: they impose an unacceptable equivalence among the various periods of the same life, a leveling contemporaneity of everything a person has ever experienced; they discredit the present by denying it its privileged status.

She was in the grip of an insuperable longing to fall. She lived in a constant state of vertigo.

“Pick me up”, is the message of a person who keeps falling.
