He who once became aware of the power of Solidarity and who breathed the air of freedom will not be crushed.

We must be courageous but also reasonable. The world admires us for walking a tightrope without falling off. It asks us to keep our balance.

Communists are great capitalists, so there is no threat anymore.

Building democracy as an imposition from abroad is a form of imperialism.

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

We need a global parliament, a global government and possibly a global ministry for security.

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