Milan Kundera najznámejšie citáty

„Láska je túžba po tej polke nás samých, ktorú sme stratili.“

Milan Kundera

„Vzťah, ktorý urobí oboch partnerov šťastnými, je vzťah, v ktorom sentimentálnosť nemá miesto a žiadny z partnerov si nerobí nároky na život a slobodu toho druhého.“

Milan Kundera

„Nemôžeš merať vzájomnú náklonnosť dvoch ľudských bytostí počtom slov, ktoré si vymenia.“

Milan Kundera

„Keď srdce prehovorí, myseľ považuje za neslušné namietať. V kráľovstve gýču vládne diktatúra srdca.“

Milan Kundera

„Psy sú naším spojením s rajom. Nepoznajú zlo, žiarlivosť ani nespokojnosť. Sedieť so psom na svahu kopca počas nádherného popoludnia znamená vrátiť sa do raja, kde ničnerobenie nebolo nudné - znamenalo pokoj.“

Prisudzované výroky
Zdroj: [37]

„Človek prechádza prítomnosťou so zaviazanými očami. Smie iba tušiť a hádať, čo vlastne žije. Až neskôr mu odviažu šatku z očí a on, pohliadnuc na minulosť, zistí čo žil a aký to malo zmysel.“

Milan Kundera

„Muži obdivujú ženy, ktoré hovoria ako knihy, ale berú si ženy, ktoré varia ako z kuchárskej knihy.“

Milan Kundera

„Boj človeka s mocou je bojom spomienok so zabudnutím.“

Milan Kundera

„Moc je najslabšia, keď je úplne neprimeraná. Keď hlupák vládne múdremu, slabý silnému, ohavná krásnemu.“

Milan Kundera

„Muž smie chcieť od ženy čokoľvek, ale ak nechce jednať ako surovec, musí jej umožniť, aby konala v súlade so svojimi najhlbšími sebaklamami.“

Milan Kundera

„Žiadne počínanie nie je samo o sebe dobré ani zlé. Až jeho miesto v poriadku ho urobí dobrým či zlým.“

Milan Kundera

„Ale keď silní boli príliš slabí na to, aby ublížili slabým, slabí museli byť dosť silní, na to aby odišli.“

Milan Kundera

„Byť básnikom, to znamená ísť vždy až na koniec.“

Milan Kundera

„Štyridsiatnik nielenže nevyžaduje vernosť, ale cíti sa bezpečnejšie, ak majú jeho priateľky vážne známosti.“

Milan Kundera

„Grécke slovo pre „návrat“ je nostos. Algos znamená „utrpenie“. Nostalgia je teda utrpenie spôsobené neutíchajúcou túžbou po návrate.“

Milan Kundera

„Človek nikdy nemôže vedieť, čo má chcieť, pretože žije len jeden život a nemôže ho nijako porovnávať so svojimi predchádzajúcimi životmi, ani ho zdokonaliť v budúcom živote.“

Milan Kundera

„Z jedinej metafory môže vzniknúť láska.“

Milan Kundera

„Oko... bod, kde sa sústreďuje identita človeka.“

Milan Kundera

„Neexistuje dokonalosť, iba život.“

Milan Kundera

„Rada sa prechádzala po ulici s knihou pod pažou. Mala pre ňu rovnaký význam ako elegantná palica pre džentlmena pred sto rokmi. Odlišovala ju od ostatných.“

Milan Kundera

„Chcem, aby si bol slabý. Taký slabý ako ja.“
