Havel/history

Famous quotes containing the words havel and/or history:

“The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning—in other words, of absurdity—the more energetically meaning is sought.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)

“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
