Tomas Serrien writes about music, society and philosophy. In 2015 he won the Geert Grote Pen, a prize awarded to the best Dutch master’s thesis in philosophy.

'Klank' received a lot of good reviews, was nominated for a reader's prize and already is in its fourth print run.

Technologie is politiek by Paola Verhaert
"Een zorgvuldig opgebouwd essay dat slim balanceert tussen waakzaamheid en (broodnodig) weloverwogen en voorzichtig optimisme, rijkelijk gestoffeerd met theoretische inzichten en praktijkvoorbeelden. Een aanrader!"
On Consolation by Michael Ignatieff
"It is an open door to write that we live in disruptive times: the accumulation of terrorism, political polarization, resurgence of nationalism/populism, the climate crisis, the outbreak of pandemics, war, and as a newcomer the energy crisis... all th" Read more of this review »

Albert Camus
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
Albert Camus

Haruki Murakami
“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Haruki Murakami
“Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Woody Allen
“Human happiness does not seem to have been included in the design of creation. It is only we with our capacity to love that fives meaning to the indifferent universe, and yet most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying and even to find joy from simple things.”
Woody Allen

Vladimir Nabokov
“Words without experience are meaningless.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
