The simple natural form doesn't exist for the new artist; there is only a expressive one.. .But is is more difficult to see the natural in images than to listen to only abstract impressions. To be part of the cosmic means to include the recognition of the natural element that leads to seeing in a spirited way. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)

Additional quotes by Charley Toorop

Made desperate attempts - worked for 3 weeks on a self-portrait [in Paris] intended for you, have scratched off everything yesterday! Maybe I can go on with it again in the studio [she was would get on the Rue des Plantes in Paris]. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)

Vincent van Gogh was already there for me even before I started painting myself, actually during the time I became aware. It was the first dispute with my father [ Jan Toorop ] who saw it so differently, for me he was the breakthrough to a new world. It is always a real event to see his work..

Als je werkelijk je als vrouw wilt geven en als moeder - heelemaal - , zou je onmogelijk eigen creatief werk kunnen maken. Dat is natuurlijk een strijd. Moeder zijn is ook crëeren, dagelijks, - ook als kinderen groot zijn -, doch ik heb dit altijd wel kunnen verbinden met m'n werk; ik heb de kinderen erin betrokken.. ..[mevr. Harrenstein-Schräder: Jou geeft het zeker wel een groote voldoening dat je moeder bent?].. .Ja, vooral omdat er ook iets scheppends in is, en omdat ik houd van de drijvende kracht, die van het nieuwe, jonge om je heen uitgaat. Aan een kind beleef je beknopt het heele leven, dat is zoo iets prachtigs en zoo zuiver.
