Can you translate Kat ?

Just what I was going to say..maybe we could google him.

A man was born to work and live? is that what the first sentense is saying Katarina?

a man was borrn to this world to be here, to work and to live.only the wise man tries to push the world farther and highet. Only idiot halts him.

to love people is the whole secret and maybe theonly secret of happiness. He who thinks only about himself, makes others poorer, makes himself poorer, shrinks and will die.

I agree with that Katrina.

Thank you Kat wise words.

:)

Lulu easy to Google him. Died 1980 .Auditioned for vilian Blofeld in the bond film 'You only live twice'he apparently became ill and the part was given to i think it said Donald Pleasance

Yes. The sad story is, that his daughter died a year after him. For the whole his life he stayed independent and very universal artist.
Brian, in google it is written that he signed pro-communistic "Anti-Charta" (the "Charta 77" was initiated by Havel and anti-regime artists) and this is ongoing disinformation. I have heard another true, which is more possible in those times of deformities. Due to this other version, he was invited for a meeting of artists, without knowing what it will be about. At the entry he was asked to sign on the list of participants. It later became the official list of signatories of anti-Charta 77.
