“Gewis, 'k heb allen lief in 't hart,
Die list noch boosheid plegen;
Hun aanzigt zij dan blank of zwart,
Ik wensch hun heil en zegen;
Maar Nederland wensch ik tienmaal meer:
Dat, vrienden! is mijn liefdeleer.”

“[They] may have for instance taken the view of Edmund Burke, who in the 18th century made the central conservative insight; that a culture and a society are not things run for the convenience of the people who happen to be here right now, but is a deep pact between the dead, the living, and those yet to be born.”

“Disagreement is not oppression. Argument is not assault. Words – even provocative or repugnant ones – are not violence. The answer to speech we do not like is more speech.”

“Maar dubbel vloek, maar dubbel schand'
En dieper smaad tot leed
Wie Neêrland heeft tot vaderland
En 't vaderland vergeet!”

“From Michel Foucault these thinkers absorbed their idea of society not as an infinitely complex system of trust and traditions that have evolved over time, but always in the unforgiving light cast when everything is viewed solely through the prism of ‘power’. Viewing all human interactions in this light distorts, rather than clarifies, presenting a dishonest interpretation of our lives. Of course power exists as a force in the world, but so do charity, forgiveness and love. If you were to ask most people what matters in their lives very few would say ‘power’. Not because they haven’t absorbed their Foucault, but because it is perverse to see everything in life through such a monomaniacal lens.”
