The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less.
Václav HavelHope is the deep orientation of the human soul that can be held at the darkest times.
Václav HavelI feel that the dormant goodwill in people needs to be stirred. People need to hear that it makes sense to behave decently or to help others, to place common interests above their own, to respect the elementary rules of human coexistence.
