yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."

Havel on Political Parties

From an interview in 1987,

"I've come to be rather skeptical about the very principle of mass political parties.  I suspect that involvement in government inevitably leads to parties' bureaucratization, corruption, and loss of democracy.  I'm not opposed to solidarity and cohesion of various interest groups of like minded people.  It's just that I'm against anything that serves to cloud personal responsibility, or rewards anyone with privileges for devotion to a particular power-oriented group."
