It was vertigo. A heady, insuperable longing to fall. We might also call vertigo the intoxication of the weak. Aware of his weakness, a man decides to give in rather than stand up to it. He is drunk with weakness, wishes to grow even weaker, wishes to fall down in the middle of the main square in front of everybody, wishes to be down, lower than down. -Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, p. 76

Qué es el vértigo? ¿El miedo a la caída? ¿Pero por qué también nos da vértigo en un mirador provisto de una valla segura? El vértigo significa que la profundidad que se abre ante nosotros nos atrae, nos escude, despierta en nosotros el deseo de caer, del cual nos defendemos espantados.

Quem quer «elevar-se» continuamente deve esperar um dia ter vertigens. O que é a vertigem? O medo de cair? Mas porque temos nós vertigens num miradouro protegido com um parapeito?

~ Milan Kundera
