Milan Kundera
“The very beginning of Genesis tells us that God created man in order to give him dominion over fish and fowl and all creatures. Of course, Genesis was written by a man, not a horse. There is no certainty that God actually did grant man dominion over other creatures. What seems more likely, in fact, is that man invented God to sanctify the dominion that he had usurped for himself over the cow and the horse.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I'm a slave to my emotions, to my likes, to my hatred of boredom, to most of my desires.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

Milan Kundera
“When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Jean-Paul Sartre
“Little flashes of sun on the surface of a cold, dark sea.”

Gautama Buddha
“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”
