Kundera

Famous quotes containing the word kundera:

“Nudity is the uniform of the other side ... nudity is a shroud.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

“The reign of imagagology begins where history ends.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

“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)
