Václav Havel

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights … is the first code of ethical conduct that was not a product of one culture, or one sphere of civilization only, but a universal creation, shaped and subscribed to by representatives of all humankind.

— Václav Havel

What is needed in politics is not the ability to lie but rather the sensibility to know when, where, how and to whom to say things.

— Václav Havel
