Quotes by Thijs Hoekstra (?)

“Discussiëren met mensen die gelijk hebben is het ergste wat er is. Ik kan het niemand aanbevelen. Het probleem is dat ze het vaak ook weten van zichzelf. Dan kijken ze glimlachend op je neer terwijl je daar loopt te spartelen met je slecht doordachte tegenargumenten.”
