• La mayoría de la gente se engaña voluntariamente con una fe doblemente falsa; creen en la memoria eterna (de los hombres, las cosas, los hechos, los pueblos) y en la rectificación (de los hechos, los errores, los pecados, la injusticia).

Toda rectificación (tanto la venganza como el perdón) será asumida por el olvido.

  Milan Kundera
