MILAN KUNDERA ~ CAN WE KNOW THE PRESENT?

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

“Man can only be certain about the present moment. But is that quite true either? Can he really know the present? Is he in a position to make any judgment about it? Certainly not. For how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present?

― Milan Kundera, Ignorance
