Milan Kundera Quotes

Toinenkin seikka kohotti hnet muita korkeammalle: hn oli laskenut pydlle avoimen kirjan. Siin ravintolassa ei kukaan toinen ollut koskaan laskenut pydlle avointa kirjaa. Kirja oli Terezalle salaisen killan tunnus. Hn saattoi taistella ymprilln leviv karkeuden maailmaa vastaan vain yhdell aseella: kirjoilla, varsinkin romaaneilla, joita hn lainasi kaupunginkirjastosta. Hn oli lukenut paljon, Fieldingist Thomas Manniin. Kirjat olivat hnen nennispakonsa elmst, joka ei tyydyttnyt hnt. Mutta niill oli merkityksens mys esinein: hnest oli hauskaa kulkea kadulla kirja kainalossa. Hn kytti kirjaa kuin edellisen vuosisadan keikari tyylikst keppi. Kirja erotti hnet muista.
