We don’t know anything about silent sages, buried knowledge, the eye of the mute poet, serene seers, yet how many talkative destroyers, prophets and ideologues, teachers and beautifiers there are on the other side.

About This Quote

This quote by Milan Kundera says that we live in a world full of destroyers. We live in a world full of people who destroy and not of people who create. It is true that there are many people who talk and say things that are wrong and bad for society, but on the other side are those who do great things for society. The problem is that it is hard to tell the difference between the ones who are good and the ones who are bad.
