Milan Kundera: Citáty v angličtine

“They are fighting for access to the laboratories where photographs are retouched and biographies and histories rewritten.”

Milan Kundera kniha The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

Part I: Lost Letters (p. 22)
The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979)
Kontext: People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past. They are fighting for access to the laboratories where photographs are retouched and biographies and histories rewritten.

“In the realm of totalitarian kitsch, all answers are given in advance and preclude any questions.”

Milan Kundera kniha The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Kontext: In the realm of totalitarian kitsch, all answers are given in advance and preclude any questions. It follows, then, that the true opponent of totalitarian kitsch is the person who asks questions. A question is like a knife that slices through the stage backdrop and gives us a look at what lies hidden behind it.

“Suspending moral judgment is not the immorality of the novel; it is its morality.”

Testaments Betrayed (1995), p. 7
Kontext: Suspending moral judgment is not the immorality of the novel; it is its morality. The morality that stands against the ineradicable human habit of judging instantly, ceaselessly, and everyone; of judging before, and in the absence of, understanding. From the view­point of the novel’s wisdom, that fervid readiness to judge is the most detestable stupidity, the most pernicious evil.
