RIP. A brave man who stood his ground against a crushing and murderous communist regime. If we only had leaders such as this today...

First an artist then a leader. Thankful that his country had him at the critical moment.

We may need to look to men such as this, here in the United States

You'll need a time machine. We don't make men here anymore.

Someone like Mr. Havel would be welcome as a 2012 presidential candidate.

Relished his writings during the '90s. Kept a paperback issue in my travel bags. A friend when books are friends.

He doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize but someone who just talks a lot does? Wow!

Rest in peace to a passionate and brave man.
