Václav Havel Quote

It's not true that you should first think up an idea for a better world and only then "put it into practice," but, rather, through the fact of your existence in the world, you create the idea or manifest it — create it, as it were, from the "material of the world," articulate it in the "language of the world."

Ch. 1 : Growing Up "Outside", p. 12. - Disturbing the Peace (1986)
