After Chopin's death, Polish patriots cut.... : Quote by Milan Kundera

“ After Chopin's death, Polish patriots cut up his body to take out his heart. They nationalized this poor muscle and buried it in Poland.A dead person is treated either as trash or as a symbol. Either way, it's the same disrespect to his vanished individuality. ”
