What good this will bring the world I don’t know. But for me it is good  (Vaclav Havel Quotes) If I have accomplished anything good, then it’s mainly because I’ve been driven by the need to know whether I can accomplish things I’m not sure I have the capacity for  (Vaclav Havel Quotes) The hope of the world lies in the rehabilitation of the living human being, not just the body but also the soul  (Vaclav Havel Quotes) It’s not hard to stand behind one’s successes.
