It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

Either we have hope within us ...

Either we have hope within us or we don't It is a dimension of the soul, and is not essentially dependent on some particular observation of the World or observation of the situation. Hope is not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

Work for something because it ...

Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

When a truth is not given complete freedom, freedom is not complete.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

I am convinced that we will never build a democratic state based on rule of law if we do not at the same time build a state that is-regardless of how unscientific this may sound to the ears of a political scientist-humane, moral, intellectual and spiritual, and cultural.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

The truth is not simply what y...

The truth is not simply what you think it is; it is also the circumstances in which it is said, and to whom, why, and how it is said.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

The law is only one of several...

The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better. Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

Keep the company of those who ...

Keep the company of those who seek the truth- run from those who have found it

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

Hope is not a feeling of certa...

Hope is not a feeling of certainty that everything ends well. Hope is just a feeling that life and work have a meaning.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

There appear to be no integrat...

There appear to be no integrating forces, no unified meaning, no true inner understanding of phenomena in our experience of the world. Experts can explain anything in the objective world to us, yet we understand our own lives less and less. In short, we live in the postmodern world, where everything is possible and almost nothing is certain

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

I am not an optimist, because ...

I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything ends well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything ends badly. I just carry hope in my heart.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

I cannot imagine that I could ...

I cannot imagine that I could strive for something if I did not carry hope in me.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

You can't spend your whole lif...

You can't spend your whole life criticizing something and then, when you have the chance to do it better, refuse to go near it.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

The real test of a man is not ...

The real test of a man is not when he plays the role that he wants for himself but when he plays the role destiny has for him.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

All human suffering concerns each human being

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

Whether all is really lost or ...

Whether all is really lost or not depends entirely on whether or not I am lost.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

The award is destined for scientists who do not fear to touch on some of the darkest aspects of being without betraying what they have achieved. On the contrary, they head in this direction.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

I have preserved my identity, ...

I have preserved my identity, put its credibility to the test and defended my dignity. What good this will bring the world I don't know. But for me it is good.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

I am not an optimist, because ...

I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything ends well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything ends badly. I just carry hope in my heart. Hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. Life without hope is an empty, boring, and useless life. I cannot imagine that I could strive for something if I did not carry hope in me. I am thankful to God for this gift. It is as big as life itself.

Vaclav Havel 212 quotes

If I have accomplished anythin...

If I have accomplished anything good, then it's mainly because I've been driven by the need to know whether I can accomplish things I'm not sure I have the capacity for.
