“We're all victims of what life deals out. It's how we handle it that's important.”
“None of us is just its victim. We are all also its co-creators.”
New Year's Address to the Nation (1990)
Context: We had all become used to the totalitarian system and accepted it as an unchangeable fact and thus helped to perpetuate it. In other words, we are all — though naturally to differing extents — responsible for the operation of the totalitarian machinery. None of us is just its victim. We are all also its co-creators.
“Victims. Victims of a transitional period of morality. That is what we both certainly are.”
