“There's a lot of pointing. A festival of pointing and at very close range to other people's eyes, given the width of the space. Also detracting from the exhibit's potential tranquility is the display cabinet of pinned specimens along one wall. I found this disturbing from the start. You don't see a whole lot of stuffed polar bears in the polar bear exhibit at the zoo, for instance. And butterflies have phenomenal vision so it's not like they can't see the mass crucifixion in their midst. I was offended on behalf of the butterflies and thus pleased with my offense. Let the empathizing begin! This volunteering thing was working already. I am a good person, hear me give!”

“Mocht mijn mening enig gezag hebben gehad, dan had ik qua beeld voor het schilderij van de Dulle Griet gepleit. Het is een wonder dat we dit bijzondere doek van de Oude Bruegel zomaar in een zaaltje van een klein museum kunnen bezichtigen, alleen dat al geeft aan wat we zijn in deze stad en het doek zelf geeft evenveel prijs. De terreur hangt daar open en bloot, het roven aan de mond van de hel. Het is niet omdat een mens er weinig moeite voor moet doen dat een onthulling geen onthulling blijkt. Die Dulle Griet raast en daast door een landschap vol oorlog en herinnering in felrood, bruin en zwart. Haar ogen staan wijd opengesperd zodat ze alles en niets ziet. Heeft zij deze verschrikking veroorzaakt of maakt ze louter deel uit van deze smeerlapperij en speelt ze het spel mee? Op een schone zaterdag moet ge toch eens naar dat museum gaan om het allemaal in u op te nemen.”
