I allowed myself to be taken in by the intellectuals. I believed too much in the Polish intellectuals and followed their advice.

Power is only important as an instrument for service to the powerless.

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.

My country is in the grips of a major economic crisis. This is causing dramatic consequences for the very existence of Polish families. A permanent economic crisis in Poland may also have serious repercussions for Europe. Thus, Poland ought to be helped and deserves help.

This is the moment of your defeat; you have just put in the last nails in the coffin of communism.

I had my own battle tactics.

Our national history has so often filled us with bitterness and the feeling of helplessness.
