The Unbearable Lightness of Being

[thewomanwithmissingfingers]

“By getting out from under her mother’s roof, she thought in all innocence that she had once and for all become master of her privacy. But no, her mother’s roof stretched out over the whole world and would never let her be. Tereza would never escape her.”

— The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera, 1984

“The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant. What then shall we choose? Weight or lightness?”

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

It’s all too much and not enough at the same time.

Jack Kerouac

“I lost a God once. It’s easier done than people think. Forget a prayer once in a while or simply grow grief in your kitchen window along with the basil and rosemary. Somewhere inside my heart, I misplaced my faith, misunderstood my own origin story, became a person half tragedy, more misery, and I started to relish it.”

— Nikita Gill, from A Mortal Interlude in “Great Goddesses: Life Lessons From Myths And Monsters”

“I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.”

— Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Maybe my life wouldn't be better if I had magic powers but I'd at least have different, sexier problems.
