Pokud by se ohlédl, uviděl by za sebou cestu lemovanou sice občas pichláky a posetou hrboly, ale dlouhou a úspěšnou. Cestu nikdy nedláždil a neuhlazoval nedůstojnými kompromisy, ale naplňoval tvůrčím úsilím. Nemusí se nikomu omlouvat a na nic vymlouvat, protože navzdory politickým poryvům zůstával stále sám sebou i pevným zastáncem nenásilí a svobody. Tento čestný postoj nese životem i díky rodině. Jeho otec, českobudějovický právník, zastával podobně pevná stanoviska stejně jako jeho manželka, básnířka a překladatelka Jana Štroblová i jejich syn Mikuláš Hulec, v současnosti vysokoškolský profesor architektury. Teď již je zřejmé, o kom je řeč. and Vladimír Klíma.
