Milan Kundera Quotes

He Had Never Wanted To Know Anything About The Part Of Her Intimate Life That He Had Not Shared With Her. Why Should He Take An Interest Now, Still Less Take Offense At It? Anyhow, He Asked Himself, What Is An Intimate Secret? Is That Where We Hide What's Most Mysterious, Most Singular, Most Original About A Human Being? Are Her Intimate Secrets What Make Chantal The Unique Being He Loves? No. What People Keep Secret Is The Most Common, The Most Ordinary, The Most Prevalent Thing, The Same Thing That Everybody Has: The Body And Its Needs, Its Maladies, Its Manias-constipation For Instance, Or Menstruation. We Ashamedly Conceal These Intimate Matters Not Because They Are So Personal But On The Contrary, They Are So Lamentably Impersonal.
