Whats certain is that a totalitarian enclave like Cubas cant continue to exist, so change will definitely come there, eventually. – Vaclav Havel
It lies in human nature that where you experience your first laughs, you also remember the age kindly. – Vaclav Havel
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. – Vaclav Havel
Isnt it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity. – Vaclav Havel
