Frank Hendriks Photography:
I thought about suicide all the time, but it seemed too much effort jumping off things. If I'd lived out in the country I would have found a quiet stretch of railway track, fallen asleep, so that I would never have known when my last moment came.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
You are not dead yet, it's not too late to open your depths by plunging into them and drink in the life that reveals itself quietly there.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I was told that I was insane, seeing doctors in hospitals far away from home.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
With God on our side.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your heart.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I think I've already decided what I'm going to do, and I just hope it's the right thing. But it isn't, or maybe it is. But I suppose it doesn't matter, because I've already started, and looking back won't help.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
My happiness is a kind of challenge. As I wander along the streets and the squares and the paths by the canal, absently sensing the lips of dampness through my worn soles, I carry proudly my ineffable happiness.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I have three rules to live by: Get your work done. If that doesn't work, shut up and drink your gin, and when all else fails, run like hell.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
You wouldn’t park your bike or pull over for a stop on the sidewalk, would you? Well then, don’t park in the bike lanes either - that forces cyclists into traffic where poor little meat puppets don’t stand a chance.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
We're all drowning here, and no one's noticing a damn thing.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I was beastly tired, but it was hard to stop. One more mile, I told myself, then I'll stop. One more mile, just one more. Then I'll go to the pub and get drunk.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
What we need is a tools to help you co-habit with your suffering day.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I embrace the rain like no one else and I call for storms because I live for the moments when I get through to the other side with all my organs intact.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Wherever I went in my life, I met people wanting to gobble up something new. Gobble up the latest toy. And then they wanted to tell you about it. 'Guess what I got? Guess what I got?'
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I wonder if, even in my despair and hopelessness, I was never truly alone. I wonder if I was looking for this place - looking for you all.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
You go into extinction by being obsessed about becoming something else and then travelling in the wrong car while your real self keeps waiting at the bus stop for your unfulfilled return.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I hate the hordes, the crowds in their vast cities, with all their hateful vehicles, their noise and their constant meaningless comings and goings.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
There probably was a time when the idea of having a toilet inside a house was repulsive.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
It's far better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
No matter how old you are now. You are never too young or too old for success or going after what you want.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I had an inspiration once. I woke up one morning and I knew that today I had to swallow fifty aspirin.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
When you find your reason for living, hold onto it. Never let it go. Even if it means burning other bridges along the way.
