Quote by Coen Simon

“In het overladen met cadeaus wordt niet alleen de vrijheid en de superioriteit van de schenker uitgedrukt, de ontvanger krijgt met de gift ook een schuld in handen. Op dezelfde wijze als een compliment niet alleen hoogachting, maar ook goedkeuring impliceert.”

“The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.”

“The little I have, I share with you; the little you have, you also share with me. Together we all have a full share of everything. Share with me your Love as I share with you my Peace; together we have full share of Unity!”
