Czech Literature

Czech literature is the literature written by Czechs or other inhabitants of the Czech state, mostly in the Czech language, although other languages like Old Church Slavonic, Latin or German have been also used, especially in the past.

Jaroslav Dušek
„Štěstí je stav, ve kterém člověk dělá to co miluje a miluje to co dělá. Tudíž to co dělá je pro něj odměnou. To znamená, že pokud se ti daří dělat to co miluješ a milovat co děláš, potom pociťuješ štěstí.

Carl von Clausewitz

Carl von Clausewitz, On War
