Milan Kundera
“You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.”
Milan Kundera

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life

Milan Kundera
“I have no mission. No one has.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Milan Kundera
“There is no perfection only life”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Simone de Beauvoir
“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
