Viva la Velvet Revolution

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16236393

The Czech Republic's dissident playwright and first post-communist President, Vaclav Havel, has died at the age of 75. Here's a couple of quotes to remember this sensible and intellectual politician by:

"The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less."

"The only lost cause is one we give up on before we enter the struggle."

Wise words from a real liberal champion.
