― Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

“Per slot van rekening weet iedereen dat alles - alles - over liefde gaat.”
― Bart Moeyaert, Gedichten voor gelukkige mensen

“You cannot stick a knife in a goat and then say, "now I will remove my knife slowly - so let things be easy and clean; let there be no mess." There will always be blood.”
