Ugh I love Kundera's writing. No surprise, I had to give this the big 5 star rating :)

“To die; to decide to die; that's much easier for an adolescent than for an adult. What? Doesn't death strip an adolescent of a far larger portion of future? Certainly it does, but for a young person, the future is a remote, abstract, unreal thing he doesn't really believe in.”
― Milan Kundera, Ignorance
