"I do not want my house to be walled"

Mahatma Ghandi has said:

"I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any".

NEDERLANDS:

"Ik wil geen huis dat aan alle kanten ommuurd is en geen dichte ramen. Ik wil dat de culturen van alle landen zo vrij mogelijk door mijn huis heen blazen. Maar ik weiger door één ervan omver geblazen te worden".

["Gandhi: The man, his people, and the empire", 241].
