Vaclav Havel — "The greatest prison is the one we build for ourselves."

"The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience, but how he stands at times of controversy and challenge."

"The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and in human responsibility."

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."

"Life is a magnificent gift, a unique opportunity, a great adventure."

"The best way to destroy a totalitarian system is to live as if it does not exist."
