― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it.”

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
