    Today the Netherlands has lost one of it's most famous storytellers of the past century. Many around the world will know his stories and drawings. He was an amazing man with a lot of imagination, who also risked his life by leaving the newspaper he worked for in WWII because the Nazi's had taken it over. He started drawing politically critical cartoons for underground media instead. A wonderful hero who even was responsible for new words and sayings in the Dutch language. ...

    one of the things he said not long before he died:
    "my body ages, but the brain always keeps working, and memories are still there.."
    "it's all about love. if you give lots of it, you will also receive it one day"
