Quotes About Past

Imitation does not mean lack of authenticity, for the individual cannot do otherwise and imitate what has already happened; sincere as he may be, he is only a reincarnation; truthful as he may be, he is only a sum of the suggestions and requirements that emanate from the well of the pass.
~ Milan Kundera

But Jean-Marc was telling the truth: he did not remember. Besides, he was not even trying to search his memory.

~ Milan Kundera

Se estudamos, discutimos, analisamos uma realidade, analisamo-la tal como aparece no nosso espírito, na nossa memória. Só conhecemos a realidade no tempo passado. Não a conhecemos tal como é no momento presente, no momento em que ela se passa, em que ela é. Ora o momento presente não se assemelha à sua recordação. A recordação não é a negação do esquecimento. A recordação é uma forma de esquecimento.

Mirek rewrote history just like the Communist Party, like all political parties, like all peoples, like mankind. They shout that they want to shape a better future, but it's not true. The future is only an indifferent void no one cares about, but the past is filled with life, and its countenance is irritating, repellent, wounding, to the point that we want to destroy or repaint it. We want to be masters of the future only for the power to change the past . ( P. 30 )
~ Milan Kundra
