Milan Kundera Quotes
She Spoke About It With Such Emphasis (somewhat Affected) That I Could See At Once That I Was Hearing The Manifesto Of Her Generation. Every Generation Has Its Own Set Of Passions, Loves, And Interests, Which It Professes With A Certain Tenacity, To Differentiate It From Older Generations And To Confirm Itself In Its Uniqueness. Submitting To A Generation Mentality (to This Pride Of The Herd) Has Always Repelled Me. After Miss Broz Had Developed Her Provocative Argument (I've Now Heard It At Least Fifty Times From People Her Age) That All Mankind Is Divided Into Those Who Give Hitchhikers Lifts (human People Who Love Adventure) And Those Who Don't (inhuman People Who Fear Life), I Jokingly Called Her A "dogmatist Of The Hitch." She Answered Sharply That She Was Neither Dogmatist Nor Revisionist Nor Sectarian Nor Deviationist, That Those Were All Words Of Ours, That We Had Invented Them, That They Belonged To Us, And That They Were Completely Alien To Them.
