“إن كلمة شفقة توحي عموماً بالارتياب، وهي تُعنى بشعور يعتبر أقل منزلة ولا علاقة له بالحب إطلاقاً. أن نحب أحداً شفقة به فهذا يعني أننا لا نحبه حقاً”
― ميلان كونديرا

“A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt, It Seems to Me: Selected Letters

“There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always like a sketch. No, "sketch" is not quite a word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“وحدها الصدفة يمكن أن تكون ذات مغزى. فما يحدث بالضرورة، ما هو متوقع ويتكرر يومياً يبقى شيئاً أبكماً. وحدها الصدفة ناطقة. نسعى لأن نقرأ فيها كما يقرأ الغجريون في الرسوم التي يخطها ثفل القهوة في مقر الفنجان.
