Peter’s Quotes

“Ik zoek de mensen zolang ze vreemden zijn; ik ontvlucht ze zodra ze dat niet meer zijn.”
― August Willemsen

3 likes

“Al jaren reis ik, en al die jaren vraag ik me af waarom. Belangstelling voor vreemde landen heb ik niet. In feite houd ik alleen van mij verplaatsen, of verplaatst worden, door een vreemd, bij voorkeur dunbevolkt landschap. Ik hou van vertrekken, niet van aankomen.”
― August Willemsen

“Wie een abstracte liefde voor de mensheid voelt, houdt bijna altijd alleen van zichzelf.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“Zo heeft hij altijd het meeste van mensen gehouden. Hun zindering te voelen zonder hun zwaarte. Te weten dat die er is, al die energie die ze vragen en opwekken, maar ver genoeg bij hem vandaan om er geen schok van op te lopen.”
― Arthur Japin, De gevleugelde
