Dr. Skreta on blondes—

“It’s not a matter of pigments. A blonde, whether real or dyed, unconsciously adapts herself to her hair. She tries to turn herself into a fragile being, a doll, a princess, she demands tenderness and courtesy, gallantry and compliments, she is unable to do anything for herself, all sweetness on the outside and bitchiness on the inside. If dark hair were to become fashionable, the whole world would be a pleasanter place. It would be the most useful social reform ever attempted.”

(I don’t share this extreme and unfairly general viewpoint, but still, the statement is so bold.)

“‘Murder’ is a word that smells too much like the hangman’s noose”, he said. “I am concerned about something else. You know, I believe that life is to be accepted totally and completely. That’s the very first commandment which has precedence over the other ten. Everything that is about to happen today is in the hands of God, and we know nothing of tomorrow. What I am trying to say is that total acceptance of life means acceptance of the unforeseen. And a child is the essence of the unforeseen, it is the unforeseen itself. You have no idea what the child will grow into, what it will mean for you, and that’s why you have to welcome it. Otherwise you’re only half alive, you’re living like a poor swimmer paddling in the shallows near the shore, while the sea really beings where the water is deep.”—Milan Kundera (The Farewell Party)
