The entire morality of the world could be summarized in the words, do as others do.

Maybe nothing is completely true, and not even that.

Multatuli "Eduard Douwes Dekker" : I love you so much that I'm glad I never met you.

I would like to meet myself sometime to see how I would look to myself. But I'd have to be in an extremely good state of mind on such a day, because I don't like unpleasantness.

Since I have the obligation to take care of the needs of my family, I have decided to use a talent which, I believe, has been given to me. I am a poet… Phew! You know, reader, what I and all sensible people think about that.
