“See this Tualang here. It is a symbol of ever growing strength. It reminds us that the bloodline of a man is not important. His roots may be shallow, but if he were like this tree then even his weakest origin will grow into buttresses and hold him up as he reaches for the heavens.”
― Iban Dream
― Iban Dream
“Eerst samen met zijn vader, dan als koning, probeerde hij tot 51 keer toe kolonies te verwerven, van de Faroër-eilanden tot Borneo, Formosa (het huidige Taiwan) en in Latijns-Amerika waar zijn zus Charlotte keizerin van Mexico was voor ze werd verdreven. Hij was voor zijn tijd visionair, en wilde stoomboten laten varen tussen Antwerpen en Shanghai via het Suez-kanaal dat hij ter plaatse ging bewonderen. Hij voorspelde toen eigenlijk al de globalisering die we nu kennen.”
