My youth passed at the time of the country's reconstruction from the ruins and ashes of the war in which my nation never bowed to the enemy paying the highest price in the struggle.

I want to light the lights of patriotism.

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

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.

The people in Poland had to deal with painful reforms.

I am overjoyed that I do not need a heart transplant at this time.

I believed it would succeed. It was Polish Solidarity and its victory that put an end to the old era when what mattered were borders and rival blocs.
