“As human beings, we live by emotions and thoughts. We exchange them when we are in the same place at the same time, talking to each other, looking into each other's eyes, brushing against each other's skin. We are nourished by this network of encounters and exchanges. But, in reality, we do not need to be in the same place and time to have such exchanges. Thoughts and emotions that create bonds of attachment between us have no difficulty in crossing seas and decades, sometimes even centuries, tied to thin sheets of paper or dancing between the microchips of a computer. We are part of a network that goes far beyond the few days of our lives and the few square meters that we tread. This book is also a part of that weave...”

“Y es que las preguntas verdaderamente serias son aquellas que pueden ser formuladas hasta por un niño. Sólo las preguntas más ingenuas son verdaderamente serias. Son preguntas que no tienen respuesta. Una pregunta que no tiene respuesta es un barrera que no puede atravesarse. Dicho de otro modo: precisamente las preguntas que no tienen respuesta son las que determinan las posibilidades del ser humano, son las que trazan las fronteras de la existencia del hombre.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
