Vaclav Havel — "The meaning of life is to live in truth and love."

"The primary purpose of a free government is to protect the freedom of its citizens."

"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."

"Sometimes I wonder if suicides aren't in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life."

"I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything will end well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything will end badly. I am a realist who hopes."

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