~ Milan Kundera
El ser humano sólo puede estar seguro del momento presente. Pero ¿es realmente asi? ¿Puede de hecho conocer el presente? ¿Es acaso capaz de juzgarlo? Claro que no. Porque ¿Cómo podría comprender el sentido del presente el que no conoce el porvenir? Si no sabemos hacia qué porvenir nos conduce el presente, ¿Cómo podríamos decirnos que ese presente es bueno o malo, que merece nuestra adhesión, nuestra desconfianza o nuestro odio?

Suspending moral judgement is not the immorality of the novel; it is its morality. The morality that stands against the ineradicable human habit of judging instantly, ceaselessly, and everyone; of judging before, and in the absence of, understanding. From the viewpoint of the novel's wisdom, that fervid readiness to judge is the most detestable stupidity.
