More From Milan Kundera

Being a victim doesn't take much. there are built-in excuses for failure. built-in excuses for being miserable. built-in excuses for being angry all the time. no reason to trying to be happy; it's not possible. you're a victim. victim of what? well, you're a victim of derision. well, you're a victim of america. you're a victim of america's past, or you're a victim of religion. you're a victim of bigotry, of homophobia, whatever. you're a victim of something. the democrats got one for you. if you want to be a victim, call 'em up.

Arguing whether or not a god exists is like fleas arguing whether or not the dog exists. arguing over the correct name for god is like fleas arguing over the name of the dog. and arguing over whose notion of god is correct is like fleas arguing over who owns the dog.

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

Friend of fatherless! fountain of happiness! lord of the swill-bucket! oh, how my soul is on fire when i gaze at thy calm and commanding eye. like the sun in the sky, comrade napoleon! thou are the giver of all thy creatures love, full belly twice a day, clean straw to roll upon; every beast great or small, sleeps at peace in his stall, thou watchest over all, comrade napoleon! had i a sucking-pig, ere he had grown as big even as a pint bottle or a a rolling-pin he should have learned to be faithful and true to thee, yes, his first squeak should be comrade napoleon!

When you're a victim, you automatically have a built-in excuse for failure. when you are a victim, it's always somebody else's fault. when you're a victim, success is not possible. when you are a victim of something, you are acknowledging that you are as far as you're gonna get, and you can't get any further, because there are more powerful forces arrayed against you than the force of yourself against it.

I proceeded to prove everybody right as to how bad an economics student i was by failing as an assistant manager in every theatre i went to that hired me, both as an assistant manager and as an actor. i lost money and tickets, and i couldn't keep track of anything. so eventually they fired me from assistant-manager jobs, but kept me on as an actor.

In the world i notice persons are nearly always stressed and have no time...i don't know how persons with jobs do the jobs and all the living as well...i guess the time gets spread very thin like butter all over the world, the roads and houses and playgrounds and stores, so there's only a little smear of time on each place, then everyone has to hurry on to the next bit.
