Milan Kundera quote #181 from The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Perhaps all the questions we ask of love to measure test probe and save it have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved that is we demand something love from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.

Milan Kundera quote #201 from The Unbearable Lightness Of Being

He suddenly recalled from Platos Symposium People were hermaphrodites until God split then in two and now all the halves wander the world over seeking one another. Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.

Milan Kundera quote #149 from The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation a desire that extends to an infinite number of women but in the desire for shared sleep a desire limited to one woman.
