Poland is quite a mediocre country in some regards. The only natural resource that we have, and with which we can compete, is freedom.

What we have to do is to definitively remove the last vestiges of power from those who treat terms such as liberal democracy, free markets and Europe with suspicion.

I spent an important part of my life participating in conflicts. But for me, conflict was not the main principle.

You strive hard to become a better version of your previous self. Never make the fallacy of thinking that you know everything.

I hope my twin brother will look exactly like me but more sporty.
