Age of Universal Deafness and Lack of Understanding: Bi-Annual Reminder

I had a weekend filled with much existential debate, and once again my thoughts return to the brilliant writer and great womanizer, Milan Kundera. I think about this quote almost every day and surely you've heard it from me many times already, but here it is again for those who've checked in only recently:

"Every individual without exception bears a potential writer within himself. The reason is that everyone has trouble accepting the fact that he will disappear unheard of and unnoticed in an indifferent universe, and everyone wants to make himself into a universe of words before it's too late.

Once the writer in every individual comes to life (and that time is not that far off), we are in for an age of universal deafness and lack of understanding."

- Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
