Reading Notes: Ignorance

Milan Kundera

"...despite all his amazing rockets, man will never progress very far into the universe. The brevity of his life makes the sky a dark lid against which he will forever crack his head, to fall back onto earth, where everything alive eats and can be eaten.
Misery and pride. 'On horseback, death and a peacock.' She was standing at the window, gazing at the sky. A starless sky, a dark lid."
