I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.

You ought to know that October is the first Spring month. Karel Čapek

Quote Author: Karel Čapek

Karel Čapek

Karel Čapek (pronounced [ˈkarɛl ˈtʃapɛk] (help·info) ) (January 9, 1890 - December 25, 1938) was one of the most influential Czech writers of the 20th century, and a Nobel Prize nominee (1936). He introduced and made popular the frequently used international word robot , which first appeared in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1921. Karel named his brother Josef Čapek as the true inventor of the word robot.

Čapek was born in Malé Svatoňovice, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic).

Other Karel Čapek Quotes

Amen.

Let no one think that real gardening is a bucolic and meditative occupation. It is an insatiable passion, like everything else to which a man gives his heart.

You ought to know that October is the first Spring month.

If dogs could talk, perhaps we should find it as hard to get on with them as we do with people.
