My feeling is that if all Catholics or Reformed Christians had been deported to Germany, the Dutch government in London would have instructed the population in the occupied Netherlands to help them.
It’s a little luck and a little how you are able to go physically and mentally for all 90 minutes. They say that is typical German soccer. Maybe now it is typically Dutch.
I was always happy to play for the Dutch national team.
The secondary attack was made against The Hague. Its aim was to get a hold upon the Dutch capital, and in particular to capture the Government offices and the Service headquarters.
She performed for the Dutch Resistance, not just to raise money but also to entertain people and to take their minds off the horrors they were living through. They would do plays and little musicals, trying to be discreet and not bring the attention of the soldiers.
They do not air ‘GH’ in Holland, so I don’t get recognized. But the Dutch are wonderfully unimpressed with celebrity, so even if the show did play over there it probably wouldn’t affect things much. It’s a wonderful life and I am so blessed.
I played professional hockey in Europe. I played in the German third league and the Dutch elite league.
Always deep fry in a nonreactive, heavy pot with high sides, like an enameled Dutch oven. A heavy pot ensures even heating which means more even cooking.
I’m a bit of a melting pot, I try to speak British, but there’s some European lilt – a not-so-conventional one because I’m Belgian, from the Flemish part. Dutch was my mother language, and I learned English, and I speak French, too.
Amsterdam was a great surprise to me. I had always thought of Venice as the city of canals; it had never entered my mind that I should find similar conditions in a Dutch town.
There’s nothing Dutch about my architecture.
The Dutch are a very practical people.
Usually, when people think of marquetry, they think of Dutch 17th-century furniture with inlaid flowers and jugs. Our goal is to break down the barriers between old and new, to combine traditional marquetry techniques with a modern idiom.
An Englishman will fairly drink as much As will maintain two families of Dutch.
I was like 4 years old when I started playing piano, and I was like 10 years old when I saw a documentary on the Dutch MTV about Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, and all of the Dutch DJs, and it really inspired me.
I was born William. My father was William. I came from a big family, I hated being called Billy. Willem’s a nickname; it’s a Dutch name, very common in the Netherlands.
I’ve heard stories about authors filled with this kind of Lotto-winner hubris. I’m a Dutch boy from the Midwest. We don’t have hubris.
I just think we’ve got a really good club life there in Holland with a lot of parties. And I think Dutch people just love to party.
We cannot forget that our flag received its first foreign salute from a Dutch officer, nor that the Province of Friesland gave to our independence its first formal recognition.
Obviously the leagues are different. The Premier League is much more competitive than the Dutch league.
These are some of the things for which we believe the American people owe no little gratitude to the Dutch; and these are the things for which today, speaking in the name of the American people, we venture to express their heartfelt thanks.
I grew up in the Netherlands, in a small little town. Just a typical Dutch girl.
I use my Le Creuset dutch oven for everything you can think of. I even fry eggs in it.
We dragged the National Health Service from the depths of degradation. I’ve got a United Nations heart bypass to prove it and it was done by a Syrian cardiologist, a Malaysian surgeon, a Dutch doctor and a Nigerian registrar.
I am Italian. Springsteen’s mostly Italian, too. We’re both Italians with Dutch names, one of the many things we have in common.
When I was a teenager, my idol was the Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff. He’s the only person I’ve ever asked for an autograph.
I was once in charge of the Dutch team – and then I was introduced to club football!
With ‘Twilight,’ you have these massive tomes that you have to condense. With ‘Penoza,’ we had an eight episode Dutch series that, just for the pilot alone, I condensed three episodes. So, there’s a lot of filling in and a ton of invention that has to happen to fill out eight episodes.
I never got to train with the likes of Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart, but I am from the club where they were. I am not Dutch, but I am from a club where they both played with the same style. They’ve had really big success when they left Ajax, so I hope I can achieve the same.
I grew up watching the great Milan teams with the Dutch players.
Milan – the club and the city – is a very special place for us Dutch.
I bought a year’s production of flax from a single field owned by a Dutch producer. That’s 10,000 kilograms of flax, enough to enable industrial level production. Now, I’m weaving it into tablecloths, tea towels, and other items at the Textile Museum in Tilburg. I’m producing hundreds of grown-up products!
I moved to England at a young age so it was different, unlike other Dutch players as I had to get used to a different culture.
I wouldn’t change my childhood for anything. The Dutch are really nice people. The schools were great.
What is New York? A straightforward answer: seven million people crushed onto an island originally settled by the Dutch. But it’s more than that. These are seven million who were, mainly, not even born here.
Dutch prisons are probably the most civilized you’re going to find anywhere in the world.
When I was a student looking at Leonardo DaVinci and all those guys – Italian, Dutch, or whatever – it’s incredible how each piece of the painting fits to the main theme that they want to express.
In matters of commerce the fault of the Dutch Is offering too little and asking too much. The French are with equal advantage content, So we clap on Dutch bottoms just twenty per cent.
The Dutch film industry is a pretty small community, so within Holland, I think most actors know each other and have worked with each other.
I speak a little bit of French and German, but apparently, I’m really bad at Dutch. The pronunciations are quite hard. I tried to say ‘hello’ in Dutch, and it did not work. People were just like, ‘What?’
I live on a big old Dutch barge by Tower Hill on the Thames.
The residence of the Plymouth settlers in the Netherlands, and the later conquest of the Dutch colonies, had brought the Americans into contact with the singularly wise and free institutions of the Dutch.
I wanted to be the Dutch Bruce Jenner – that was my goal. He was my hero.
I’m not going to say the Dutch league is naive but they all play to win. In the Premier League, you have teams with a different idea.
Edam and Gouda are genuine Dutch cheeses, but the real thing is a lot less bland than the varieties most of us experience in the U.K.
