"Anyone who has spent time in a concentration camp as a child [like me] --who has been completely dependent on an external power which can at any moment come in and beat or kill him and everyone around him --probably moves through life at least a bit differently from people who have been spared such an education... I have always been known as an optimist. Anyone who survives being repeatedly condemned to death may either suffer from paranoia all his life, or from a confidence not justified by reason and believe that everything can be survived and everything will turn out all right in the end."
-- Ivan Klima, Return to Prague, In "The Spirit of Prague"
