Quote by Milan Kundera
A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that gestures, such as non-verbal actions or movements, are not solely the creation or property of individuals, but rather entities that use individuals as their instruments or vessels. It suggests that gestures are not original to any one person and can be shared among many people, implying a collective nature or influence of gestures. Therefore, individuals themselves become the medium through which these gestures are expressed and embodied.
