Unbearable Lightness of Being
I came across an phenomenal quote from "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera (p. 289 - 290):
You can read a larger extract, beautifully written here. I must read this book.

And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.
