Milan Kundera Quotes

When I Described Madame De T's Night, I Recalled The Well-known Equation From One Of The First Chapters Of The Textbook Of Existential Mathematics: The Degree Of Speed Is Directly Proportional To The Intensity Of Forgetting. From That Equation We Can Deduce Various Corrollaries, For Instance This One: Our Period Is Given Over To The Demon Of Speed, And That Is The Reason It So Easily Forgets Its Own Self. Now I Would Reverse That Statement And Say: Our Period Is Obsessed By The Desire To Forget, And It Is To Fulfill That Desire That It Gives Over To The Demon Of Speed; It Picks Up The Pace To Show Us That It No Longer Wishes To Be Remembered; That It Is Tired Of Itself; Sick Of Itself; That It Wants To Blow Out The Tiny Trembling Flame Of Memory.
