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.

I'm going to be stealing this, Tilpu. How does the man manage to write such things?!! They ring true EVERY single time.
I have my own problems with Kundera. But I still quote him on my blog. Maybe you'd like to read the Book of Laughter and Forgetting.
