Hendrik Werkman (1882–1945) Dutch artist
version in original Dutch (origineel citaat van Hendrik Werkman, in het Nederlands): Er komt dan op een gegeven ogenblik een tijd dat je alles, de hele rotzooi van je aftrapt en opgelucht de verdere weg bewandelt. Dan krijg je de verleidingen: zal ik dat toch maar niet anders doen, zal ik omkeren en gaan inzien dat ik een stommeling ben. Bijt dan maar op de tanden en zeg tegen jezelf: nee, stommeling, niet terug, wat je verliest is winst.
