Czech Quotes

Well, listen, you know, the Czech saying is, you know, when you are drowning you are grabbing even a little twig. That's what all Czechs were doing, grabbing for... with the hope for this little twig. Milos Forman
Kim Novak quote: "Well, I'm Czech, but Polish, Czech, no matter, it's my name."

We have to be thankful to the Czechs that they did their duty. The Czech Republic won, I can't believe it. It was a huge party with all the people here. Ruud van Nistelrooy
I am deeply sensitive to the spell of nationalism. I can play about thirty Bohemian folk songs ... on my mouth-organ. My oldest friend, who is Czech and a patriot, cannot bear to hear me play them because he says I do it in such a schmalzy way, 'crying into the mouth organ'. I do not think I could have written the book on nationalism which I did write, were I not capable of crying, with the help of a little alcohol, over folk songs, which happen to be my favourite form of music. Ernest Gellner

F. L. Lucas quote: "At Munich we sold the Czechs for a few months grace, but the..."
At Munich we sold the Czechs for a few months grace, but the disgrace will last as long as history. F. L. Lucas
But it's very difficult, I can tell you I played the Czech Open a few times and it's very difficult just to go on to a scene where the course is prepared differently when the greens are fast and he's not used to it and they're hard as a rock and he's not used to it. Ivan Lendl
Anwar Robinson quote: "Well, it's the Czech Republic now, but more specifically..."
Well, it's the Czech Republic now, but more specifically Prague. I went there when I was 12. Anwar Robinson
Oliver Kahn quote: "Complaining and arguing will not help. We are fully..."
Complaining and arguing will not help. We are fully concentrating on the game against the Czechs. Oliver Kahn
