Even a purely moral act that has no hope of any immediate and visible political effect can gradually and indirectly, over time, gain in political significance. – Vaclav Havel
Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you dont, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. – Vaclav Havel
The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning – in other words, of absurdity – the more energetically meaning is sought. – Vaclav Havel
Without free, self-respecting, and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations. Without internal peace, that is, peace among citizens and between the citizens and the state, there can be no guarantee of external peace. – Vaclav Havel
