Quote by A.F.Th. van der Heijden

“Waar was iemand zijn hele leven mee bezig? Schuld te ontkennen, zich de schande van het lijf te wassen... Als geen ander wezen was de mens in staat de feiten van zijn persoonlijke geschiedenis zodanig te ordenen, te hergroeperen, omver te liegen, dat ze hem vrijpleitten van alle schuld. Maar in wezen vocht iedereen tegen de schande die het leven sowieso aankleefde.”

“Truth is like a double edged sword. Truth, as in the colors of the rainbow, are truths, not to be confused with THE TRUTH, which is like LIGHT, all colors and no single color. The Truth is like a tree, with all its fruit, while truths are like the fruit on the tree, part of the whole; parts of The Truth, half-truths. Truth can be true, yet it can also lie. So the question is does truth lead to THE TRUTH, or do truths lead us to a lie ? To see the difference is the key to the gates of Eden.”

“To know the good from the bad, study a man or woman's history of actions, not their record of intentions.”
