“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

“We swore that we'd die with our boots on. But then, that's what you do when you drown.”
― Carsten Jensen, We, the Drowned

“Duty was the only thing he had left. He must cleave to it or else surrender to pure meaninglessness.”
― Carsten Jensen, We, the Drowned

“Albert is a monument we’ve all carved and erected.”
― Carsten Jensen, We, the Drowned
