" "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.

Additional quotes by Karel Čapek
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.

Ono što nazivamo svojim životom, to nije sve što smo proživjeli; to je samo odabir. Previše je toga što proživljavamo, više nego što naš um može zahvatiti. Zato si izabiremo ovo ili ono, već što nam odgovara, pa iz toga ispletemo neku pojednostavnjenu priču; i onda taj proizvod nazivamo svojim životom. Ali koliko otpadaka pritom zanemarimo, koliko čudnih i strašnih stvari izostavimo, zaboga, kad bi to sve čovjek osvijestio! Ali mi možemo živjeti samo jedan jednostavan život. Proživjeti više od toga bilo bi izvan naše moći. Ne bismo imali snage živjeti kad usput ne bismo pogubili većinu života.
