“There will never be a revolution in the Netherlands, because you are not allowed to walk on the grass there.”
— Full quote with translation help from Google: "A few weeks ago I wrote an article in NRC Handelsblad in which I quoted Karl Marx.

Some 150 years ago this would have been the absolute national truth, except for Multatuli, whose hero Woutertje Pieterse expresses a completely different view in his Robber Song..."
“The duller the politics, the happier the country”
— Words have their meaning (1992) Frits Bolkestein.
“Every Dutchman hates Holland. That is our cardinal national quality.”
— Jerome Brouwers limits himself to the facts
“Greece is a sort of American vassal; the Netherlands is the country of American bases that grow like tulip bulbs; Cuba is the main sugar plantation of the American monopolies; Turkey is prepared to kowtow before any United States proconsul and Canada is the boring second fiddle in the American symphony.”
— Andrei Gromyko, New York Herald Tribune (30 June 1953)
“The Netherlands, with all its anti-discrimination provisions and especially the moral indignation about anything that hints at making a distinction between people in whatever field, is a rock-hard segregated society.”
— The Islamization of our culture: Dutch identity as a foundation / the word as a weapon
“In the Netherlands, people are so toilet trained that when they feel the need to spit, they take the train to do it in the countryside.”
