“One day I was sitting one side of the fireplace, and my wife was sitting on the other, and I suddenly said to her, “Wouldn’t it be a good idea to write a story about some boys on an island, showing how they would really behave, being boys and not little saints as they usually are in children’s books.” And she said, “That’s a first-class idea! You write it!””

William Golding (1911–1993) British novelist, poet, playwright and Nobel Prize for Literature laureate

“I was a healthy, strong, cheerful boy, and like to take great walks in and around The Hague... I sometimes got a blow from Nature. And if I got such a blow later, I could draw and paint what I saw. I recorded it in a few scribbles.”

Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch (1824–1903) Dutch painter of the Hague School (1824-1903)

version in original Dutch / citaat van J. H. Weissenbruch, in het Nederlands: Ik was een gezonde, stevige, vroolijke jongen, en maakte graag grote wandelingen in en om Den Haag.. ..Ik kreeg soms een klap van de Natuur. En als ik later die klap had, kon ik teekenen en schilderen, wat ik zag en gezien had. In een paar krabbels legde ik het vast.
