" "I don’t know whether we have souls or not; but there are immortal things within us, and one of them is this instinctive desire for justice. I’m no better than anyone else, but there is something within me that isn’t only mine, that doesn’t belong only to me — the notion of a more exacting and more powerful order. I know I’m saying this badly, but at that moment I understood what crime is and what is meant by an offense against God. You see, a person who’s been murdered is like a holy place that’s been violated and defiled.

Additional quotes by Karel Čapek
They all had a thousand good economic and political reasons why they couldn’t stop. I’m not a politician or a businessman; how am I supposed to persuade them about these things. What are we supposed to do; quite likely the world will collapse and disappear under water; but at least that will happen for political and economic reasons we can all understand, at least it will happen with the help of science, technology and public opinion, with human ingenuity of all sorts! Not some cosmic catastrophe but just the same old reasons to do with the struggle for power and money and so on. There’s nothing we can do about that.

Já jsem právě byl jako ve snu, neviděl jsem nic než ten náš cíl. Když mě přátelé utěšovali, dělal jsem hrdinu, jakoby nic... to už patří ke kšeftu, říkal jsem.
Člověk mnoho vydrží, všecko, ma-li cíl a když se jednou odhodlal, že za ním půjde stůj co stůj a doopravdy. Opravdovost - to je tajemství světa a života, to je svátost náboženská a mravní.
