It is I who must begin. 

 
Once I begin, once I try – 
here and now, 
right where I am, 
not excusing myself 
by saying things 
would be easier elsewhere, 
without grand speeches 
and ostentatious gestures, 
but all the more persistently 
 – to live in harmony 
with the “voice of Being,” as I 
understand it within myself 
 – as soon as I begin that, 
I suddenly discover, 
to my surprise, that 
I am neither the only one, 
nor the first, 
nor the most important one 
to have set out 
upon that road. 
Whether all is really lost 
or not depends entirely on 
whether or not I am lost. 
– Václav Havel
