“I thought about reaching out with my authorial hand and snatching her from that awful situation. I thought about it and I agonized over it. But to me, that felt dishonest and emotionally manipulative. This was the end she had chosen, and I felt she had earned an ending that was as powerful as she was.”

“What a struggle I had to make on that ['Mother and Child']. You would say, a nice assignment to make something good out of it, isn't it. I myself thought it that way. So I went to Heeze, I made a mass of studies of women with children, came back with the sketches to my studio... Oh, what an obsession..”

Suze Robertson (1855–1922) Dutch painter

(version in original Dutch / origineel citaat van Suze Robertson:) Wat heb ik dáár op getobd ['Moeder en Kind']. Ge zoudt zeggen, niet waar: 'n opgaaf [opdracht] om best iets goed van te maken. Dat dacht ik ook. 'k ging dus naar nl:Heeze, maakte er massa's studies van vrouwen met kinderen, kwam daarmee op m'n atelier terug.. .Maar wat een obsessie..
