Planting, Watering and Waiting.
Planting, Watering and Waiting
By Vaclav Havel, International Herald Tribune
Nov. 13, 1992.
"This is adapted from a recent speech by Mr. Havel, former president of Czechoslovakia, to the Institute of France.
I come to you from a country that had to wait many long years for its freedom. So I hope you'll allow me to offer a few brief thoughts on the phenomenon of waiting."
