“And so one day she composed a will in which she requested that her dead body be cremated and its ashes thrown to the wind. Tereza and Tomas had died under the sign of weight. She wanted to die under the sign of lightness. She would be lighter than air. As Parmenides would put it, the negative would change into the positive”

— Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
