Vaclav Havel Giving Quotations

In my opinion, theater shouldn't give advice to citizens.

The only lost cause is one we give up on before we enter the struggle.

Every consession gives rise to further concessions, we cannot back down, because behind us there is only an abyss, we must keep our promises and demand that they be kept.

Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity.
