Additional quotes by Karel Čapek

The most terrible struggle in our recent history is being played out. It is not only a struggle for our land, it is a struggle for our soul.... A thousand years of tradition suffice for a nation to learn once and for always these two things: to defend its existence, and with all its heart and all its strength to stand on the side of peace and liberty.

" — Това е то днешното възпитание — провъзгласи старият Янечек. — А като река понякога да кажа нещо на сина, той ще ми отвърне: "Ти не ги разбираш тия работи, тате, днес е друго време, друга епоха" — то дори и за костените оръжия не можело да се каже, че били последна дума. „Един ден, казва, хората ще измислят още по-инакъв материал…“ Ето това, знаеш ли, вече е прекалено: като че ли някога някой е виждал друг, по-здрав материал от камъка, дървото и кокала!
