HER NASCENT LOVE INFLAMED HER SENSE OF BEAUTY, and she would never forget that music. - unbearable lightness of being.

IT IS LESS THE PLEASURE THAN THE CONQUEST THAT ATTRACTS THEM (in les liaisons dangerous)

THE WEAPON THAT IS MOST READILY AVAILABLE AND MOST DEADLY IS DISCLOSURE.

when we are too ardent, we are less subtle. When we rush to sensual pleasure, we blur all the delights along the way.

THE ASS HOLE IS THE MIRACULOUS FOCAL POINT FOR ALL THE NUCLEAR ENERGY OF NAKEDNESS. 

LOVABLE LOVER OF PLEASURE. GENTLE PROTECTIVE LIAR. GUARDIAN OF HAPPINESS. 

(various from Slowness by Milan Kundera)

about having and appreciating at the time, and then losing after the event. being happy, at the time. and all the time. if possible. 

this was not about polyamory, but the parallels between different conquests, hook ups, sensuous endeavours. The having, and holding and the sustaining. the arousal in the absence. the echoes of words and thoughts after the event. 

the pride, and the ownership of own body. the shame and desperation involved when embodying our physicality, and confronting its deterioration. the alternation between pride and shame, glory and humiliation in quick succession. the duality of the mind and body, its synergy and incongruity. not particularly strong or well developed female characters - hysterical, or submissive. but kundera literally is writing from his own perspective, and that is a male one. I want to be the female kundera.
