“An idea comes as near to something for nothing as you can get.”

“"If it were a dog, it would have bitten you already." Actual Twents: "At e ne hond was, dan e oew allange ebettene." Meaning: Said to someone who is looking for something which is right under his nose. Source: Twents Woordenbook. Twents in Woord en Gebruik.”

“Our life runs down in sending up the clock.The brook runs down in sending up our life.The sun runs down in sending up the brook.And there is something sending up the sun.”

“My wife has to be the worst cook. In my house, we pray after we eat.”

“I like actors very much, but to marry one would be like marrying your brother. You look too much alike in the mirror.”

“I would rather have young people settle on a small income at once, and have to struggle with a few difficulties together, than be involved in a long engagement.”

“Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.”

“We must abandon completely the notion of blaming the past for any kind of situation we're in and reverse our thinking and see that the past always flows back from the present. That now is the creative point of life. So you see it's like the idea of forgiving somebody, you change the meaning of the past by doing that...Also, watch the flow of music. The melody as its expressed is changed by notes that come later. Just as the meaning of a sentence...you wait till later to find out what the sentence means...The present is always changing the past.”

“As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.”
