Farewell to an inspiring figure who represented the best of what the often cynical art of politics should be. This quote from Havel has stuck with me. "Genuine politics—even politics worthy of the name—the only politics I am willing to devote myself to—is simply a matter of serving those around us: serving the community and serving those who will come after us. Its deepest roots are moral because it is a responsibility expressed through action, to and for the whole." (Summer Meditations, 1992)
