Milan Kundera Quotes
In Times When History Still Moved Slowly, Events Were Few And Far Between And Easily Committed To Memory. They Formed A Commonly Accepted Backdrop For Thrilling Scenes Of Adventure In Private Life. Nowadays, History Moves At A Brisk Clip. A Historical Event, Though Soon Forgotten, Sparkles The Morning After With The Dew Of Novelty. No Longer A Backdrop, It Is Now The Adventure Itself, An Adventure Enacted Before The Backdrop Of The Commonly Accepted Banality Of Private Life.
