Aksel Sandemose
“Music and night follow the same route to the human heart.  In music and in alcoholic intoxication we are carried downward to our level of existence at the time we lay in the cradle and adored ourselves.  Intoxication, night, and music — each is a person who casts himself to earth and shrieks his own name.”
Aksel Sandemose, A Fugitive Covers His Tracks

Helen Russell
“Danes do have a good work-life balance on the whole. ‘And if we don’t, we usually do something about it. You ask yourself, “are you happy where you are?” If the answer’s “yes” then you stay. If it’s “no”, you leave. We recognise that how you choose to spend the majority of your time is important. For me, it’s the simple life – spending more time in nature and with family. If you work too hard, you get stressed, then you get sick, and then you can’t work at all.”
Helen Russell, The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country

Aksel Sandemose
“When a society faces reorganization along radical lines, the first storm-signals will always come from the deserters from the party yielding ground.  It has never been slaves who have begun successful struggles against slavery; the deserters from the feudal state were the individuals who a hundred and fifty years ago, laid the ideological foundation for the middle-class revolt.”
Aksel Sandemose, A Fugitive Covers His Tracks

Bronwyn Mauldin
“What I mean when I say “Vilnius” is the strength of a people to be the first to vote to leave the Soviet Union in 1991, and the persistence to make that vote mean something.”
Bronwyn Mauldin, Love Songs of the Revolution

Tsitsi Dangarembga
“Each novel is a message in a bottle cast into the great ocean of literature from somewhere else (even if it was written and published last week in your home town); and what makes the novel available to its readers is not shared values or beliefs or experiences but the human capacity to conjure new worlds in the imagination. A fully realized novel provides readers with everything they need for their imaginations to go to work.”
Tsitsi Dangarembga, Nervous Conditions
