Milan Kundera, Ignorance

“I don’t think that people accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable.”
David Lynch

Marcel Proust
“Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.”
Marcel Proust

David Foster Wallace
“What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human [...] is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and naïve and goo-prone and generally pathetic.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

William Faulkner
“Memory believes before knowing remembers.

[Light in August]”
William Faulkner, Light in August
