“The Greek word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.”
― Milan Kundera, Ignorance

“You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.”
― Milan Kundera

“Лежаћу по цео дан у трави и гледаћу у небо. Сваки дан ће имати нову боју. И те боје умириће моје очи, а ја сам сав миран, кад ми се смире очи.”
― Miloš Crnjanski, Dnevnik o Čarnojeviću

“Traveling provides occasions for shaking oneself up but not, as people believe, freedom. Indeed it involves a kind of reduction: deprived of one’s usual setting, the customary routine stripped away like so much wrapping paper, the traveller finds himself reduced to more modest proportions - but also more open to curiosity, to intuition, to love at first sight.”
― Nicolas Bouvier, The Way of the World
