“Dear Richard, I just received your letter; I will send the money order f 10 [10 guilders] immediately for the swimming of Saar [their daughter, 10 years old]. She seems to be going well ahead, I think, at least if she can jump off the springboard by herself. Her letter was nice and cheerful. Yes I would have liked her to come here [in Heeze] but I am just afraid that I may not be able to work regularly or that she will get rather bored.”

— Suze Robertson

(version in original Dutch / origineel citaat van Suze Robertson's brief:) Lieve Richard [ nl:Richard Bisschop ], Zo even ontving ik je brief; ik zal de postwissel zenden f 10 [10 gulden] meteen voor het zwemmen van Saar [hun dochter, 10 jaar oud]. Ze schijnt me nogal goed vooruit te gaan, tenminste als ze alleen van de plank af springt. Aardig was haar briefje en opgewekt. Ja wel graag had ik dat ze hier [Heeze] kwam maar ik ben alleen bang dat ik misschien niet geregeld zal kunnen werken òf dat zij zich nogal zal vervelen.

“The kids were just 8 and 10 years old and seemed to be doing much better than I expected. That first night they both went upstairs to bed, and later I went up to check on them. They were asleep. When I saw Melanie I started crying. She had a picture of her dad with her. She was holding it in her arms.”

“A lot of the reason I am here is because of my strength, my determination and character. I would just like to talk about a girl called Lucy.I went to her funeral today, she was 10 years old. She came to the game against Charlton where we lifted the Premiership trophy. She had a tumor on the brain - really she should have died the week before that game. But she was so desperate to come and see that game, to watch us play. The character and strength she showed made me put everything in perspective.I would like to dedicate this whole award to her, her family, especially her mother, and I would like to say thanks to everyone tonight.”

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she's given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.”
