Louis Pasteur
“In that memorable year, 1822: Oersted, a Danish physicist, held in his hands a piece of copper wire, joined by its extremities to the two poles of a Volta pile. On his table was a magnetized needle on its pivot, and he suddenly saw (by chance you will say, but chance only favours the mind which is prepared) the needle move and take up a position quite different from the one assigned to it by terrestrial magnetism. A wire carrying an electric current deviates a magnetized needle from its position. That, gentlemen, was the birth of the modern telegraph.”
― Louis Pasteur

Helen Russell
“Danes are blunt and direct and trusting and secure”
― Helen Russell, The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country
