"More than ever, the supreme and most urgent necessity is to see and say things as they are... And, more than for others, this is an imperative necessity for those who take it upon themselves to lead their people... More than ever, because, as perhaps never before, the lives of men and the lives of the nations on all sides are dominated by lies and deceit. Such that one hardly hears or reads words anymore that are words of truth: honest and matter-of-fact expression of genuine reality."
- Joris van Severen
