More From Vaclav Havel
- "The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning – in other words, of absurdity – the more energetically meaning is sought."
- "Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don’t, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you."
- "Without free, self-respecting, and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations. Without internal peace, that is, peace among citizens and between the citizens and the state, there can be no guarantee of external peace."

- "This battle for ‘common-sense’ gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason. All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, ‘gun control’ legislation. Good news – if you’re a crook."― Larry Elder
- "I’m sure not afraid of success and I’ve learned not to be afraid of failure. The only thing I’m afraid of now is of being someone I don’t like much."― Anna Quindlen
- "An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc."― Henri Matisse
