“A devastating, a traumatic defeat, [to Germany] and the Danes might well have fallen into a Treaty of Versailles mentality. Mysteriously, they did not. Instead they redirected their aims and will; they did turn inward. They changed their agriculture from grain to dairy products, they set up cooperatives, gave their attention to social and economic advancement, chose a neutral policy, developed an altogether new kind of adult schooling. It was a chain reaction, but the links gradually forged themselves into a virtuous circuit. It has turned out well. [from "Portrait Sketch of a Country: Denmark 1962"]”

“EARLY ONE DARK April morning a few years ago I was sitting in my living room in central Copenhagen, wrapped in a blanket and yearning for spring, when I opened that day鈥檚 newspaper to discover that my adopted countrymen had been anointed the happiest of their species in something called the Satisfaction with Life Index, compiled by the Department of Psychology at the University of Leicester.

I checked the date on the newspaper: it wasn鈥檛 1 April.”

“My novels are set in a global space and pace. However, I have never visited most of the places. I wrote my first book in London but the story took the reader to places in Mexico, Denmark and Russia, and carefully avoided London. I access these global locations with my feet planted in front of my computer. I will use my internet connection to carefully enter the streets of a foreign city and find out how long it will take my main character to get from the airport to the city center 鈥� and if there are any shortcuts on the way. I wanted to do something new. The world is becoming a global village and we have to understand these different cultures. There is a Danish culture, an Israeli culture and so on. So if you want to go to Denmark, then read the book.”

“Islam will aim to establish itself as the majority in France, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

“Pj盲sen handlade, sa Konungen till mig, om att ondskan funnes i s氓 h枚g grad hos dessa m盲nniskor vid hovet att de liknade apor eller dj盲vlar; de gladde sig 氓t andras olyckor och s枚rjde 枚ver deras framg氓ngar, detta vore det som druidernas tid kallades Kannibalism, Anthropophagie. D盲rf枚r befunno vi oss bland Kannibaler.”

“Carl responding to something Camilla did, "The next time you touch my equipment, I'm going to puncture your silicon boobs and then claim it happened because you resisted arrest after threatening to slug me with one of your brother's trophies. When I slap the cuffs on you, and you're waiting for the doctor as you stare at the blank white wall of a prison cell in Hillerod, you'll dream about taking back that pat you just gave me. Shall we proceed, or do do have anything to add regarding my nobler parts?”

“Alle disse sk忙bner. Vi er s氓 forg忙ngelige, vi mennesker. N氓r vi er b酶rn, skuer vi ind i evigheden; n氓r vi 忙ldes, ser vi tilbage og ved at det kun var et fingerknips, et glimt i tiden, at vore dage var som regndr氓ber der falder i havet.”

“The silent steps of lovers walking hand-in-hand on Danish, impossible-to-pronounce streets resound through me. Their voices drone through the night in strange volumes under those little planted trees and pass like the incomprehensible gibberish of a forgotten dream.”
― Bruce Crown, The Romantic and The Vile

“Being Danish, all you have is your supple grip and your light touch. There are plenty of places in the world where the guest who extends a weaponless hand is the most welcome. A man from a small and weak country is as good as stateless. Just wave your Danish flag. They won't see a white cross against a red background as a crusading banner; they'll just see it as a white cloth. So wrap yourself in its innocence, lao-yeh.”
― Carsten Jensen, We, the Drowned

“There is one way to understand another culture. Living it. Move into it, ask to be tolerated as a guest, learn the language. At some point understanding may come. It will always be wordless. The moment you grasp what is foreign, you will lose the urge to explain it. To explain a phenomenon is to distance yourself from it. When I start talking about Qaanaaq, to myself or to others, I again start to lose what has never been truly mine.”
― Peter Hoeg

“Freuchen, der p氓 opturen fungerede som fyrb酶der sammen med Hagerup og Gundahl, kv忙stede en dag to mellemh氓ndsben alvorligt, da en hel bunke tunge kulstykker v忙ltede ned over hans h氓nd. Da Freuchen er en af dem, der sj忙ldent lader en lejlighed g氓 fra sig til at komme galt af sted, faldt det ham naturligvis ikke ind at benytte den s忙dvanlige jernstang til at rage kullene ned med inde i boksene. Da vi bebrejdede ham det uforsigtige i at stikke h忙nderne ind gennem det farlige hul, sagde han: "Jamen, jeg havde da f酶rst stukket hovedet langt ind for at se, hvor jeg skulle ta' og rive l酶s.”

“M盲nniskan var inte en maskin, men befann sig inne i maskinen. Det var det som var konsten. Att bem盲stra maskinen. D氓 skulle ansikten han tecknade le tacksamt och v盲lvilligt mot honom. Men det sv氓ra, det riktigt sv氓ra var att de inte tycktes tacksamma. Att m盲nniskornas sm氓 elaka huvuden mellan punkterna, de som avbockats! blivit klara! l枚sta!!!, att dessa ansikten som tittade fram var ondskefulla och illvilliga och otacksamma. Framf枚r allt var de inte hans v盲nner. Samh盲llet var en maskin, och ansiktena illvilliga. Nej, ingen klarhet l盲ngre.”

“The Danes, considered to be among the happiest people in the world, have enjoyed hygge for hundreds of years.
Denmark's high standard of living, decent healthcare, gender equality, accessible education and equitable distribution of wealth all contribute to the measurable happiness of the Danish people.
But a determined pursuit of happiness doesn't necessarily lead to wellbeing.
At the heart of Danish life, and at the core of hygge, is a deeper stability of contentment.”

“Something smelled rotten in Denmark. The odor lilted more rank than the slimy cabbage leaves and maggot-boiling mutton discarded in a heap behind the royal kitchen, or more than the moldy cheesed breath of Orrick, the tavern owner in the village, when he blasted a laugh between the yellow posts of his teeth. The putrid aroma drifted on the wind like the blasts of winter, permeating the stone walls of Elsinore Castle in a hard, cold, bitter wetness, and growing along the dark corridors, spreading and eating away at the peace of the entire Kingdom and her inhabitants. - Prince of Sorrows”
― D. K. Marley

“Jeg g氓r ikke rundt til daglig og f酶ler bitterhed over at det forholder sig s氓dan. Men i dag, mens jeg ser den forlorne ceremoni og m忙rker lugten af krudtr酶g fra kanonerne, er det som om noget g忙rer i mig. En vrede som jeg ikke kan rette mod noget bestemt, kun mod en fortid som var uretf忙rdig, og en fremtid der virker usikker. Vores sk忙bne som magtfulde m忙nds oms忙ttelige valuta.”
― Mich Vraa, Faith

“Solitude. Ensomhed. Hvorfor hed det s氓dan? Da jeg s氓 huset igen, t忙nkte jeg at forklaringen m氓ske er ganske enkel. Solitude ligger ensomt p氓 en bjergtop n忙sten s氓 h酶jt man kan komme, og har udsigt over havet til tre sider. Der er ingen naboer, kun skov, og skoven tr忙nger sig p氓; tr忙erne er begyndt at brede sig ind p氓 den store g氓rdsplads mellem hovedbygningen, et smukt hus i to stokv忙rk, og et fundament til en anden bygning, som ikke findes l忙ngere. Den er rimeligvis bl忙st bort i en orkan. En anden bygning t忙t p氓 selve huset er mere solid og rummer pulte som en skolestue, ja, det er en skolestue eller har v忙ret det engang. D酶ren mangler, og gulvet er d忙kket afl酶v og efterladenskaber fra dyr der har s酶gt ly derinde. Selve huset virker misligholdt, men ikke forfaldent.”

“The Great Dane by Stewart Stafford

Martyr father of poison sleep,
Rotten carcass of a slain beast,
Wicked stars cast against him,
Beloved, that loved him least.

O maggot of gnawing doubt,
Wriggling along life鈥檚 tightrope,
Sleepwalking this broken path,
To a coup de gr芒ce last stroke.

The players unmask dark play,
Trampling nightshade that reeks,
Honour's duel in a snake pit,
The shadow castle grows weak.
