Famous quotes containing the words present and/or condition:
“The present era grabs everything that was ever written in order to transform it into films, TV programmes, or cartoons. What is essential in a novel is precisely what can only be expressed in a novel, and so every adaptation contains nothing but the non-essential. If a person is still crazy enough to write novels nowadays and wants to protect them, he has to write them in such a way that they cannot be adapted, in other words, in such a way that they cannot be retold.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him and the condition of free men is deliberate servility.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
