Milan Kundera Quotes
Yes, Suddenly I Saw It Clearly: Most People Deceive Themselves With A Pair Of Faiths: They Believe In Eternal Memory (of People, Things, Deeds, Nations) And In Redressibility (of Deeds, Mistakes, Sins, Wrongs). Both Are False Faiths. In Reality The Opposite Is True: Everything Will Be Forgotten And Nothing Will Be Redressed. The Task Of Obtaining Redress (by Vengeance Or By Forgiveness) Will Be Taken Over By Forgetting. No One Will Redress The Wrongs That Have Been Done, But All Wrongs Will Be Forgotten.
