The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm fearsome, but could never see that the dangers were a reason to continue strolling on the beach. - Vincent Van Gogh Quotes

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm fearsome, but could never see that the dangers were a reason to continue strolling on the beach.[De visschers weten dat de zee gevaarlijk is en de storm geducht maar hebben nooit kunnen inzien dat de gevaren redenen waren om op ‘t strand te blijven kuijeren.]
