About Maarten

Thank you...

For your interest and curiosity to find out more about me.
What to tell and show about myself? On this page are facts and quotes from me and from others and maybe I repeat what others have said before. I will mention that if I am aware of it. Oh, and some pictures. Apart from that we'll have to meet.

 Facts and quotes:


My brain is programmed for remembering facts, not names. I will have to work hard to remember yours, and I will.
My mom is an artist with fabric and cloth. She taught me how to make clothes when I was young. Her mother taught her...
I often willingly forget the age of this body, so if you ask me I might need to do the math. I am born on the 9th of July 1968.
I have been living in relationship with my current partner for over 25 years.
I remember being able to run fast, for long distances. It helped me when I was bullied as a child, they could never catch me. I was fastest of my athletics club and in the eastern part the Netherlands. Until someone faster came along.
Nothing in my life could have been done different, else I would have done it.
Life is a means by which I can discover myself.
In deep meditation all is still evolving.
Life is a means by which I can evolve, and I will never be the same :-)
natures grace is birth, natures grace is death. So many have said this before, yet when I recovered from severe illness, it became quite clear...
I am able to distance myself from the world as a means to be able to keep my sanity and keep in contact with my inner self. I taught myself to lie about my inner world and the things on my mind. This because as a child I experienced that no adult could be trusted.
I am an adult.
My partners name is Daphne Irene.
My eldest son is called Connor Arjuna.
My youngest son is called Yarne Victor.

"A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine. Each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting. A teacher must never impose his student to fit his favorite pattern. A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence. A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. I am not teaching you anything, I just help you to explore yourself."
Bruce Lee
"We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors & people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school & think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along & told them they had to earn a living.”
