Writer and politician, born in Bonaire, The Netherlands Antilles. He went to The Netherlands to study medicine. Between the world wars he came into contact with the group around Forum, and his first novel, Mijn zuster de negerin (1935, My Sister the Negro), was published in the Forum magazine. The novel is especially important because it is regarded as the beginning of Antillean Dutch literature. His work deals with the existentialist themes of despair and isolation; his main characters try to give meaning to their lives, but repeatedly come to the conclusion that this is an impossibility. In addition to writing he was active as a politician in The Netherlands Antilles, fulfilling the function of governor in 1962–70

As I Walk Through Life I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love
you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them
I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care
back. I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to
destroy it. I’ve learned that it’s not what you have in your life but who
you have in your life that counts. I’ve learned that you can get by on charm
for about fifteen minutes. After that, you’d better know something. I’ve
learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do. but
to the best you can do. I’ve learned that it’s not what happens to people
that’s important. It’s what they do about it. I’ve learned that you can do
something in an instant that will give you heart ache for life. I’ve learned
that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. I’ve
learned that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I’ve learned that it’s a lot easier to react than it is to think. I’ve
learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be
the last time you see them. I’ve learned that you can keep going long after
you think you can’t. I’ve learned that we are responsible for what we do, no
matter how we feel. I’ve learned that either you control your attitude or it
controls you. I’ve learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a
relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be
something else to take its place. I’ve learned that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the
consequences. I’ve learned that learning to forgive takes practice. I’ve
learned that there are people who love you dearly, but just don’t know how
to show it. I’ve learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score. I’ve
learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the
best time. I’ve learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you
when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up. I’ve learned that
sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn’t give
me the right to be cruel. I’ve learned that true friendship continues grow
even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. I’ve learned that
just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean
they don’t love you with all they have. I’ve learned that maturity has more
to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from
them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated. I’ve learned
that you should never tell a child that their dreams are unlikely or
outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would if
they believed it. I’ve learned that your family won’t always be there for
you. It may seem funny, but people you aren’t related to can take care of
you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren’t
biological. I’ve learned that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going
to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I’ve
learned that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you
have to learn to forgive yourself. I’ve learned that no matter how bad your
heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief. I’ve learned that
our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are
responsible for who we become. I’ve learned that sometimes when my friends
fight, I’m forced to choose sides even when I don’t want to. I’ve learned
that just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each
other and just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do. I’ve
learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their
actions. I’ve learned that we don’t have to change friends if we understand
that friends change. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t be so eager to find out
a secret. It could change your life forever. I’ve learned that two people
can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I’ve
learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will
eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process. I’ve learned that
there are many ways of falling and staying in love. I’ve learned that no
matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in
life. I’ve learned that no matter how many friends you have, if you are
their pillar you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most.
I’ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people
who don’t even know you. I’ve learned that even when you think you have no
more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find strength to
help. I’ve learned that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional
pains. I’ve learned that the paradigm we live in is not all that is offered
to us. I’ve learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent
human being. I’ve learned that the people you care most about in life are
taken from you too soon. I’ve learned that although the word “love” can have
many different meanings, it loses value when overly used. I’ve learned that
it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not
hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe.
