"No matter how small, a change can still be part of something greater. Even then, when he held a position of power, he fought for all of them to be treated equally. He considered everyone as a human being, even those who stood against him."

The Power of the Powerless
Vaclav Havel
October, 1978

Can they actually change anything? ... The potential of the powerless can only begin with an examination of the nature of power in the circumstances in which these powerless people operate.

I know very well how cruel he is.
I know he rules by whim.
And yet the day will come,

And his spirit breaks,
His heart will soften.
His rage will finally relent.
He will be eager for my friendship and
I will await him eagerly.

No trouble so great is there which cannot easily be borne by a husband and wife who harmonize and are willing to endure it in common."
