People are most important.

I must tell you that the supply of words on the world market is plentiful, but the demand is falling.

Dictators and oppressors should continue to fear me because I will be here for a long time.

In myself I am nothing. It all comes from God and the Virgin Mary.

My struggle led to the reunification of Germany and the creation of the state of Europe. We destroyed the borders; globalisation is on the horizon.

One could always do more, faster and cleverer, but democracy has its own rhythm.

Obviously people want social calm, but if you do not let clever and ingenious people to participate, obviously there must be some dormant volcano that will erupt, sooner or later.

Now is the era of intellect, information and the Internet.

I don't have regrets I didn't spend more time with my family because I've lived my life to the full, and you can't look back in regret.

When I was fighting communism, there was rapid development of satellite television and cell phones, and communism, to survive, would have to block all these information devices.

Communism in Cuba will collapse sooner or later because you can't control the free flow of information. Communism prevents organizations from developing by stopping the flow of information. The system is based on police and listening devices and triggers the worst characteristics in humans.

After the war, Germany fully confessed to all its dirty tricks. It's necessary to is draw a line under the past, even if people did something evil. Until we do, wounds won't heal.

I belong to a nation which over the past centuries has experienced many hardships and reverses. The world reacted with silence or with mere sympathy when Polish frontiers were crossed by invading armies and the sovereign state had to succumb to brutal force.

Our firm conviction that ours is a just cause and that we must find a peaceful way to attain our goals gave us the strength and the awareness of the limits beyond which we must not go.

I use many different gadgets connected with computers; I use PCs, laptops and a Palm Pilot. I also use the Internet to visit websites, especially within Polish-language Internet. I usually go to political discussion groups and sites - of course, as I use my real name, people never believe that they are chatting with me!

No minority should climb all over the majority.

My character and personality is today and tomorrow; I do not work well remembering further back.

I got politics and economics moving and then others took over.

I am happy that Poland is returning to the road of pluralism and democracy.

I believe that any violation of privacy is nothing good.

Capitalism is in crisis.

Authority must be respected and chosen wisely.

As a nation we have the right to decide our own affairs, to mould our own future. This does not pose any danger to anybody. Our nation is fully aware of the responsibility for its own fate in the complicated situation of the contemporary world.

Democracy is made up of three elements. One is whether the laws support pluralistic principles. The second is whether the people take advantage of these laws. The third element is whether the peoples' wallets are thick enough to benefit from this democracy.
