Milan Kundera Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der wahre moralische Test der Menschheit, der fundamentale Test (der tief in der Sicht verankert ist) besteht aus seiner Haltung gegenüber denen, die sich seiner Gnade hingeben: den Tieren. Und in dieser Hinsicht hat die Menschheit ein grundlegendes Debakel erlitten, ein so grundlegendes Debakel, dass alle anderen davon herrühren.

This is a fundamental view of the world. It says that when you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must repair the world around it, and within it, so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent, and more whole; and the thing which you make takes its place in the web of nature, as you make it.

Many of the master chefs in the South, both the upper South as well as the deep South, were blacks and many of those people came here to Washington, D.C., and opened up establishments. Very, very few of them have survived. But they certainly were very prominent.
