Vaclav Havel Art Quotes - (4 quotes)

Vaclav Havel - From the Accomplishment category:

If I have accomplished anything good, then it's mainly because I've been driven by the need to know whether I can accomplish things I'm not sure I have the capacity for. (Vaclav Havel)

Vaclav Havel - From the Hope category:

The hope of the world lies in the rehabilitation of the living human being, not just the body but also the soul. (Vaclav Havel)

Vaclav Havel - From the Politics category:

There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all. (Vaclav Havel)

Vaclav Havel - From the Vision category:

Vision is not enough – it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs. (Vaclav Havel)
