I belong to the generation of workers who, born in the villages and hamlets of rural Poland, had the opportunity to acquire education and find employment in industry, becoming in the course conscious of their rights and importance in society.

You have riches and freedom here but I feel no sense of faith or direction. You have so many computers, why don't you use them in the search for love?

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

Freedom must be gained step by step, slowly. Freedom is a food which must be carefully administered when people are too hungry for it.

We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.
