For most Norwegians just being in the countryside is not enough. They also need to be as far away from any other human being as possible.
Dan Elloway, The Xenophobe's Guide to the Norwegians

O.E. Rølvaag
That which the mind in some hidden cove of a Norwegian fjord, or on some lonely island—far out where the mighty sea booms eternally—through centuries had conceived of religious mysticism, and there shaped so as to fit the conditions of life, now sought a natural expression on the open reaches of the prairies.… With these people the feeling of strangeness in this alien land and the utter impossibility of striking new roots here gave to their testimony the tone of deep, rich spiritual experience.
O.E. Rølvaag, Peder Victorious: A Tale of the Pioneers Twenty Years Later
