― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
