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

Without a single shot we've managed to liberate the world of communism but now there is a need for a global solidarity.

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

The defense of our rights and our dignity, as well as efforts never to let ourselves to be overcome by the feeling of hatred - this is the road we have chosen.

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.

Obviously people want social calm, but if you do not let clever and ingenious people to participate, obviously there must be some dormant volcano that will erupt, sooner or later.

One could always do more, faster and cleverer, but democracy has its own rhythm.
