Albert Camus
“Vous etes comme tout le monde, vous prenez ces braves gens pour une tribu de syndics et de marchands, comptant leurs ecus avec leur cances de vie eternelle, et dont le seul lyrisme consiste a prendre parfois, couverts de larges chapeaux, des lecons d'anatomie? Vous vous trompez. Ils marchent pres de nous, il est vrai, et pourtant, voyez ou se trouvent leurs tetes: dans cette brume de neon, de genievre et de mente qui descend des enseignes rouges et vertes. La Hollande est un songe, monsieur, un songe d'or e te fumee, plus fumeux le jour, plus dore la nuit, et nuit et jour ce songe es peuple de Lohengrin comme ceux-ci, filant reveusement sur leurs noires bicyclettes a hauts guidons, cygnes funebres qui tournent sans treve, dans tout le pays, autour des mers, le long des canaux. Ils revent, la tete dans leur nuees cuivrees, ils roulent en rond, ils prient, somnambules, dans l'encens dore de la brume, ils ne sont plus la.”
Albert Camus, The Fall

“Waarom hield zij eigenlijk niet zo van haar moederland? Nederland was toch meer haar vaderland, al durfde ze dat thuis nooit hardop te zeggen. Ze sprak beter Nederlands dan Turks, maakte zoiets uit voor het land dat je je vaderland noemde? Was de taal die je het beste sprak de taal van je vaderland, ook al lag het land van je ouders in een ander werelddeel?”
Karin Hilterman, Meryem
