Oscar Wilde
“A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.”
Oscar Wilde

Leo Tolstoy
“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
Leo Tolstoy , Anna Karenina

Bob den Uyl
“Ik ben, wellicht op een verkeerde manier, bezeten van boeken. Altijd, dag en nacht, moet er een boek bij me in de buurt zijn. Zonder boek naar bed of naar de w.c. gaan is voor mij onmogelijk. Blijk ik in een trein een boek of blad vergeten te zijn, dan stap ik uit en schaf me drukwerk aan. Verblijf ik bij iemand die geen boeken in huis heeft, dan word ik rusteloos en agressief.”
Bob den Uyl

Douglas Adams
“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

James Baldwin
“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.”
James Baldwin
