More From Milan Kundera

I ignore the jealous, i ignore the malicious, i ignore the ignorant and i ignore the paranoid.
Jealous Ignorant Paranoid
You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.
Love You Exercise Men
I think, as human beings, we at times overvalue the intellect and we undermine the body. i don't mean a body externally and the shape of a body. i mean the intelligence of a body, the memories that a body can store, how a body feels emotion, and how a body processes emotion.
Memories Mean Thinking
I am made for running. because when you run, you could be anyone. you hone yourself into a body, nothing more or less than a body. you respond as a body, to the body. if you are racing to win, you have no thoughts but the body's thoughts, no goals but the body's goals. you obliterate yourself in the name of speed. you negate yourself in order to make it past the finish line.
Running Winning Past
The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). ignore them. ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. listen instead to your real customers, to your vision and make something for the long haul. because that's how long it's going to take, guys.
Inspirational Real Media
It's appropriate that the word 'ignorance' is an extension of the word 'ignore.' we ignore so much and so we become ignore-ant.

Similar Quotes
In the middle-class united states, a veneer of "alternative lifestyles" disguises the reality that, here as everywhere, women's apparent "choices" whether or not to have children are still dependent on the far from neutral will of male legislators, jurists, a male medical and pharmaceutical profession, well-financed lobbies, including the prelates of the catholic church, and the political reality that women do not as yet have self-determination over our bodies and still live mostly in ignorance of our authentic physicality, our possible choices, our eroticism itself.
Determination Children Ignorance
Sometimes, though, i feel that pushing books is a whole lot like pushing medicine. think of books as pills. i have pills that cure ignorance and pills that cure boredom. i have pills to elevate moods and pills to open people's eyes to the awful truth: uppers and downers as they were. i sell pills to help people find themselves and pills to help them lose themselves when they require escape from the pressures and anxieties of life in a complex society.
Book Ignorance Eye
Rather than bring the full force of our creativity and rationality to bear on the problems of ethics, social cohesion, and even spiritual experience, moderates merely ask that we relax our standard of adherence to ancient superstitions and taboos, while otherwise maintaining a belief system that was passed down to us from men and women whose lives were simply ravaged by their basic ignorance about the world.
Spiritual Creativity Ignorance
I try to hold both history and wilderness in mind, that my poems may the true measure of things and stand against the unbalance and ignorance of our times.
