version in original Dutch (citaat van Maria Bilders-van Bosse, in Nederlands): Ik zeg u, dat ik uit de ondervinding heb geleerd. Hebt gij eenmaal met uw zelve overleijd, zijt gij eenmaal tot besluit gekomen, wijk dan niet af, anders wordt ge als een weerhaan, en ontevreden op uzelf. — Remark to Anna Ekker - a younger woman-painter, c 1882-84; as quoted in the Dutch journal 'Vaderland', 18 July 1900; source: Dutch Archive R.K.D. - The Hague
