"Dit is toch wel met afstand het meest intimiderende boek wat ik in mijn leven heb gelezen. We gaan het allemaal meemaken. Ben benieuwd of ik het uitkrijg!" — Jul 26, 2026 03:16PM

"Altijd een vreemde sensatie als je een bepaald gevoel hebt & dat helemaal wetenschappelijk ontleed ziet worden & je hyperbewust wordt van hoe je zelf psychologisch in elkaar zit maar dat de situatie (logisch) niet verandert. Vet!" — Jun 24, 2026 05:32AM

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.”

“All these years, they’ve been like two little plants sharing the same plot of soil, growing around one another, contorting to make room, taking certain unlikely positions.”

“There is a pirate in the basement.
(The pirate is a metaphor but also still a person.)
(The basement could rightly be considered a dungeon.)
The pirate was placed here for numerous acts of a piratey nature considered criminal enough for punishment by those non-pirates who decide such things.
Someone said to throw away the key, but the key rests on a tarnished ring on a book that hands on the wall nearby.
(Close enough to see from behind the bars. Freedom kept in sight but out of reach, left as a reminder to the prisoner. No one remembers that now on the key side of the bars. The careful psychological design forgotten, distilled into habit and convenience.)
(The pirate realizes this but withholds comment.)”

“To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread.”
