The Art of Doing the Impossible – Václav Havel

“Let us teach both ourselves and others that politics ought to be a reflection of the aspiration to contribute to the happiness of the community and not of the need to deceive and pillage for political purposes. Let us teach both ourselves and others that politics does not have to be the art of the possible, especially if this means the art of speculating, calculating, secret agreements, and cynical maneuvering, but that it also can be the art of the impossible, that is the art of making both ourselves and the world better.”
