Вацлав Гавел знаменитые цитаты

„Спасение человечества заключено в сердце человека, в способности человека к самопознанию, в человеческой кротости и в человеческой ответственности.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Настоящее мерило человека не в том, как он играет роль, придуманную им для себя, а в том, как он играет роль, назначенную ему судьбой.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Надежда, в её глубинном и сильнейшем смысле, — это не просто радость от того, что дела идут хорошо; это способность трудиться ради какой-то цели лишь потому, что эта цель добра и прекрасна, а не потому, что она дает шансы на успех.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Тот, кто относится к себе чересчур серьезно, всегда рискует оказаться в глупом положении; тому же, кто в любой момент готов посмеяться над самим собой, это не грозит.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Свободные и независимые государства невозможны без свободных, уважающих себя и самодостаточных граждан. Нет гарантий мира в мире без мира внутреннего, мира между самими гражданами и мира между гражданами и государством.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Надо работать во благо, а не потому, что это может привести к успеху.“

Вацлав Гавел Цитаты о мужчинах

„Как только человек начинает считать себя центром мироздания и мерой всех вещей, мир теряет свое человеческое лицо, а человек теряет контроль над миром.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Трагедия современного человека не в том, что он знает все меньше и меньше о смысле своей жизни, а в том, что все меньше и меньше его это беспокоит.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Современный человек должен опуститься до самого низа спирали своего собственного абсурда, только тогда он может взглянуть поверх неё. Это невозможно обойти или перепрыгнуть, этого невозможно просто избежать.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Спасение этого человеческого мира лежит ни где иначе, как в человеческом сердце, в способности человека размышлять, в человеческом смирении и в человеческом чувстве ответственности.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Человек должен заново открыть в своей душе глубочайший смысл ответственности перед миром, что означает ответственность перед чем-то высшим, чем сам человек.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Я думаю, что во вторжении НАТО в Косово имеется элемент, в котором никто не может сомневаться: воздушные атаки, бомбы не вызваны материальной заинтересованностью. Их характер — исключительно гуманитарный: главную роль играют принципы, права человека, которые имеют приоритет даже над государственным суверенитетом. Это делает вторжение в Федерацию Югославия законным даже без мандата ООН. |газета Le Monde 29 апреля 1999 года|“

Вацлав Гавел цитаты

„Надежда — это обращение к духу, обращение к сердцу; она выходит за пределы мира непосредственного опыта и бросает якорь за горизонтом.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Я на самом деле обитаю в системе, где слова могут потрясти всю структуру управления, где слова могут быть сильнее, чем десять военных дивизий.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Мне всегда был интересен экзистенциальный аспект власти, ведь тот, кто теряет власть, вместе с ней теряет и смысл жизни.“

„Без сомнения, неверие в слова полезнее, чем неоправданная вера в них. А кроме того, не верить в слова, обвинять их в тех ужасах, которые могут ненавязчиво дремать в них, — не в этом ли в конечном итоге состоит предназначение интеллектуала?“

Вацлав Гавел

„Политика не есть искусство возможного; политика — искусство невозможного.“

Вацлав Гавел

„Из дискуссии никто никогда ничему не научился.“

Вацлав Гавел: Цитаты на английском языке

“The previous regime — armed with its arrogant and intolerant ideology — reduced man to a force of production, and nature to a tool of production. In this it attacked both their very substance and their mutual relationship. It reduced gifted and autonomous people, skillfully working in their own country, to the nuts and bolts of some monstrously huge, noisy and stinking machine, whose real meaning was not clear to anyone.”

New Year's Address to the Nation (1990)

“My dear fellow citizens,
For forty years you heard from my predecessors on this day different variations on the same theme: how our country was flourishing, how many million tons of steel we produced, how happy we all were, how we trusted our government, and what bright perspectives were unfolding in front of us.
I assume you did not propose me for this office so that I, too, would lie to you.”

Václav Havel

Speech of October 1989, accepting a peace prize

“You may ask what kind of republic I dream of. Let me reply: I dream of a republic independent, free, and democratic, of a republic economically prosperous and yet socially just; in short, of a humane republic that serves the individual and that therefore holds the hope that the individual will serve it in turn. Of a republic of well-rounded people, because without such people it is impossible to solve any of our problems — human, economic, ecological, social, or political.”

Statement about the conditions in Czechoslovakia and other previously Soviet Bloc countries. Daily Telegraph London (3 January 1991)

“Let us admit that most of us writers feel an essential aversion to politics. By taking such a position, however, we accept the perverted principle of specialization, according to which some are paid to write about the horrors of the world and human responsibility and others to deal with those horrors and bear the human responsibility for them.”

Address to the Prague World Congress of International PEN Club (7 November 1994) http://www.englishpen.org/writersinprison/wipcnews/peninternationaldeeplysaddenedbydeathofvclavhavelaconstantchampionforfreedomofexpression/

“Our civilization has essentially globalized only the surfaces of our lives. But our inner self continues to have a life of its own. And the fewer answers the era of rational knowledge provides to the basic questions of human Being, the more deeply it would seem that people, behind its back as it were, cling to the ancient certainties of their tribe. Because of this, individual cultures, increasingly lumped together by contemporary civilization, are realizing with new urgency their own inner autonomy and the inner differences of others.”

The Need for Transcendence in the Postmodern World (1994)

“In late 1989, the profound transformation that took place in this country brought me here to Prague Castle. It all happened so suddenly that I did not even have time to properly consider whether or not I was up to the task, and I was sincerely of the opinion that I would just take it on for a few months until the first free elections.
Clearly, things turned out quite differently: I have now been here for more than thirteen years, if we discount the short break in the latter half of 1992.”

“I believe that during the intervention of NATO in Kosovo there is an element nobody can question: the air attacks, the bombs, are not caused by a material interest. Their character is exclusively humanitarian: What is at stake here are the principles, human rights which have priority above state sovereignty. This makes it legitimate to attack the Yugoslav Federation, although without the United Nations mandate.”

“The attempt to devote oneself to literature alone is a most deceptive thing, and … often, paradoxically, it is literature that suffers for it.”

“It has become clear that the legacy of the past decades we have to cope with is even worse than we anticipated or could anticipate in the joyful atmosphere of those first weeks of freedom. New problems are emerging day by day, and we can see how interconnected they are, how long it takes to solve them, and how difficult it is to establish priorities.”

New Year's Address to the Nation (1991)

“We introduced a new model of behavior: don't get involved in diffuse general ideological polemics with the center, to whom numerous concrete causes are always being sacrificed; fight "only" for those concrete causes, and be prepared to fight for them unswervingly, to the end. In other words, don't get mixed up in backroom wheeling and dealing, but play an open game.”

“The role of the writer is not simply to arrange Being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to Being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning further than the author himself can see or perceive.”

“It's not true that you should first think up an idea for a better world and only then "put it into practice," but, rather, through the fact of your existence in the world, you create the idea or manifest it — create it, as it were, from the "material of the world," articulate it in the "language of the world."”

“I have had direct experience of this myself. Often, what the press wrote, or did not write, about a remark I made somewhere proved to be of a far greater consequence than the remark itself. Democratic choice in such cases ceases to be a choice between alternatives people are familiar with, and have personally tried, and becomes a choice between alternatives offered by those who run the media.”
