The Airportline: Observations

During the summer that never wanted to end I had a birthday, with a party attached to it. I got some truly amazing presents that showcased my friends unusual creative ability in a wonderful way. One of the gifts was the book The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. This morning I started reading it and it seems quite intriguing to say the least. Here is one quote which I felt the need to underline with my newly bought 1 Euro ink pen:

But in the love poetry of every age, the woman loves to be weighed down by the man's body. The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously of life's most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become.
