“A mismatched outfit, a slightly defective denture, an exquisite mediocrity of the soul-those are the details that make a woman real, alive. The women you see on posters or in fashion magazines-the ones all the women try to imitate nowadays-how can they be attractive? They have no reality of their own; they're just the sum of a set of abstract rules. They aren't born of human bodies; they hatch ready-made from the computers." ~The Book of Laughter and Forgetting”
― Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”
― Oscar Wilde

“And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
