“If the rivers are not kept clear, the city [Antwerp] will be lost, the soldiers will mutiny, desert, or surrender to the enemy, the rich and reformed will leave, the poor and riffraff will become the most powerful, meanwhile I receive no answer, it seems they have forgotten us entirely.” AntwerpDutch Golden AgeDutch RepublicEighty Years WarSpanish Empire Author:Philips van Marnix van St. Aldegonde
“I never really have to sit at a desk thinking, "What should I do now?" It doesn't work like that for me, and it never has. My thinking process is constant. The difference is that once I was in Antwerp only doing two men's shows a year. And the weird thing is I thought I was busy then.” ThinkingMenShouldYearsTwoShowsProcessDifferencesConstantBusyShould IDesksWeird ThingsThinking ProcessAntwerp Author:Raf Simons
“The great thing about Europe is that things have not been represented [as much]. If you open the door of a bar in Brooklyn in a film you know exactly who is the mobster, who is the nice guy, who is the drunk, who's the waitress, who's the lonely heart. If you push open the door to a bar in Antwerp or Lisbon or Rotterdam, people will talk five different languages. You don't know who's who. You don't know if that guy is a banker or a mobster.” PeopleIfsKnowsHeartDifferentFilmGuyLanguageFiveNiceDoorsEuropeLonelyBarsGreat ThingsDrunkBankersThat GuyBrooklynWaitressNice GuyDifferent LanguagesMobsterLonely HeartAntwerpRotterdam Author:Thomas Bidegain
“I was in Antwerp - which, I had about 20 shows left at that point - and a guy said, "That's Dave Attell's." Also, Antwerp was my smallest audience, so the guy was right there. I was like, "What?"

I had never seen that, and I would never ever, ever, ever - please believe me - I would never lift material from somebody ever, and certainly not knowingly.” BelieveDoeSaidShowsGuyLeftBitsAudienceMaterialsPleaseStoresLiftsBelieve In MeSmallestAirportsDaveLuggageAntwerpPlease Believe Me Author:David Cross

“A Dominican monk, Father Henri Didon, used it as a watchword for his pupils in sports at Arcueil College in Paris. Baron Pierre De Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics, made it the Olympic Games ideal adopted at the Antwerp Games in 1920. I never mentioned winning to my players. I mentioned constantly that all I wanted them to do was the best they could. If they're good enough, the score will be to their liking; if they're not, it won't be but that's nothing to hang their head about. Sometimes the other fellow is just better than you are.” IfsMadeSometimesEnoughWantedUsedFatherGamesWinningSportsPlayerModernCollegeIdealsFellowsMade ItParisScoreGood EnoughFoundersOlympicsAdoptedMonkPupilsBetter Than YouOlympic GamesAntwerp Author:John Wooden
