“..on my travels, for example, abroad,. .I see things that attract me, in the works of others, - which impress me. That's what you reflect upon at times. And when you come home you think: Me too have to make something like that.. .Then you start, and when it's finished it looks like the work of that person or another.. .But your own originality doesn't get lost, - your sentiment remains!. .And this happens not only to me, - this happens to others also.. .Unintentionally you continue to build on motives of others.. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)”
