Poul Gernes in "About decorating", "Flowers for Vejle", Vejle Art Museum, 1984, p. 41-42: "(...) I have yet to write an article without it containing its fair share of disappointment and bitterness in spite of life being the best thing we have. It is simply great. The sun shines ? often. The birds sing ? the ones we have not yet eradicated. The forest is green where it has not yet died. And then there is peace ? in the places where there are no wars, etc. And finally, we could join forces to do just a little so we do not make matters worse. In my little area of ??life I am sure that what matters now is reaching a new connection with the people (...) Instead of winning international fame, it is important to make something that can be used for something. Make something that effortlessly, without explanation or other evasions is useful here ? in the community we have, and which we live in right now. Something that works and makes life better, happier and which points ahead for all of us (not just for the investment happy antisocial art snobs, now that we are discussing this little area called art)."
