"Well, sure, when you have some success, you also work with more self-confidence and ease. But before that time; that awkward question: am I going to sell or not. All the same I never took notice of it regarding to my work."

(version in original Dutch / origineel citaat van Suze Robertson:) O zeker, wanneer je wat succes hebt, werk je ook met grooter zelfvertrouwen en met grooter gemak. Maar daarvóór; die penibele kwestie: zal ik [kunnen] verkoopen of niet. Toch heb ik mij daar voor mijn werk nooit aan gestoord. — p. 33
