"Een aardige tijd geleden werd deze me aangeraden door Stefan. Een tijdje later heb ik hem gevonden voor een appel en een ei bij een tweedehands boekenzaak in Maastricht. Nu eindelijk eraan begonnen. Sterke inleiding, erg nieuwsgierig naar de rest ☺️" — Jan 18, 2026 04:42PM

“We barely get any time on this planet. Do not spend it pleasing other people. Fuck politeness. Live life exactly how you want to live it so you can love the life you make for yourself.”
