I'm trying to recover a memory of a paragraph in a Kundera book which deals with a comparison of faces. He describes our sense of individuality, but then shreds it by setting us up next to hundreds of others, showing us how similar we all are in the end.
I'm fairly certain it comes from either Immortality, or Unbearable Lightness of Being, perhaps Laughter and Forgetting. Anyone have an idea of where I can find the section?
Cheers.

Warnick, thank you for the response; I appreciate the link. You suggest that there's no point in exploring Kundera's ideas, but my goal is not to find new thoughts, simply to recover a specific quote I've lost(describing hundreds of faces side by side). Nevertheless, even if he does not introduce new themes, his perspective will be different to that of others given the experiences which colour his writing.
