“Yes you know me by my name, you know me asa face and you never knew me in any other way. Therefore it could never occur to you that my face is not myself.

 

Yet, there comes a time when you stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself: this is myself? And why? Why did I want to identify with this? What do I care about this face? And at that moment everything starts to crumble.”

 

(Kundera and Kussi, 1991. P.p. 35-36)
