Nothing is worse, or more of a breach of the social contract between citizen and state, than for government officials, bureaucrats and agencies to waste the money entrusted to them by the people they serve. ↗

Een boek is voor hem [C. Buddingh'] zo iets als een rommelwinkel voor andere koopjesjagers. Je vindt hier en daar wat moois, een aardig vaasje, een raar plaatje, maar de winkelvoorraad als geheel interesseert je geen zier. Zo leest Kees boeken. Hij pikt er zinnetjes uit, zoals een kind snot uit z'n neus peutert en smakelijk opeet, zonder te weten hoe het is ontstaan, zonder zich in de functie van slijmvliezen en de ademhaling te verdiepen, zonder iets te begrijpen van de totale mens, hè. ↗

I really believe that studying organization, even in the form of studying detective story organization, is very, very valuable for a playwright, a budding playwright. ↗
