"The greatness of a nation is in its symbols, its gestures, in doing things that are unprecedented. It’s why the Americans are falling behind—they built a nation on the idea of doing new things, and now they’d rather sit and pray that the world won’t make them adapt too much."

Jaroslav Kalfař"In one book, your father is a hero. In another book, he is a monster. The men who don’t have books written about them have it easier."
Jaroslav Kalfař"Death would be so much easier to dance with if it weren’t surrounded by the clutter of civilization."
