I knew that one must sow for as long as one can and that one must refrain from thinking about crops because once a grain gets into soil, it will survive; it will not be devastated by a fire in the barn - sooner or later, it will sprout. Hence my intensive contacts with people at that time: I never spared my time and I kept clarifying the same issues time and again; I never spared my time and efforts to tour the regions. I tried to be everywhere.

Society woke up nation-wide, everybody started to feel like manager, everybody wanted to do something. There was a mushrooming of commissions and committees, formed according to various keys and competences - which was to create more than one problem in the future. I admit that those commissions and committees that registered themselves instantly did recognize the leadership of Wałęsa and Gdańsk but wanted to be absolutely independent, without any instructions or orders therefrom. This is characteristic of a movement that grows from grassroots.
