And anyway, no one ever develops and achieves self-awareness in a vacuum, beyond all eras and systems. The period you grow up in and mature in always… - Václav Havel

The real test of a man is not how well he plays the role he has invented for himself, but how well he plays the role that destiny assigned to him.

"Či nespojili se snad „známí disidenti“ v Chartě 77 poté, co je spojila solidarita s neznámými hudebníky, nespojili se v ní snad s nimi a nestali se snad právě skrze to oněmi „známými "disidenty"? Je to věru krutý paradox, že čím víc se někteří občané zastávají jiných občanů, tím častěji jsou označováni slovem, které je od těchto „jiných občanů“ odděluje! Uvozovky, do nichž v celé této úvaze důsledně slovo „disident“ kladu, dostávají, doufám, touto explikací jasný smysl."

Today's world, as we all know, is faced with multiple threats. From whichever angle I look at this menace, I always come to the conclusion that salvation can only come through a profound awakening of man to his own personal responsibility, which is at the same time a global responsibility. Thus, the only way to save our world, as I see it, lies in a democracy that recalls its ancient Greek roots: democracy based on an integral human personality personally answering for the fate of the community.
