Sometimes I wonder if suicides arent in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life. – 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 exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both. – Vaclav Havel
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. – Vaclav Havel
