“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.”

“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.”

“It will always hold true that the under class will not be stirred into action until after the best minds within the upper class have perceived that the latter is no longer able to manage its own tasks. With the first signs of such weakness, the superseding class rises like a tidal wave. A society erected upon a class system falls when its structure has been analyzed and become understood. The middle-class social democrats wished to develop into a bourgeois state; now they have paid in blood for their lack of vision.”

“Morals are always erected by people who know where their next meal is coming from But everything goes, for ourselves, when we are without even a biscuit to nibble.”

“By means of the Jante Law’s ten commandments, Jante holds Jante down. And now you must hear them all: 1. Thou shalt not believe thou art something. 2. Thou shalt not believe thou art as good as we. 3. Thou shalt not believe thou art more wise than we. 4. Thou shalt not fancy thyself better than we. 5. Thou shalt not believe thou knowest more than we. 6. Thou shalt not believe thou art greater than we. 7. Thou shalt not believe thou amountest to anything, 8. Thou shalt not laugh at us. 9. Thou shalt not believe that anyone is concerned with thee. 10. Thou shalt not believe thou canst teach us anything. Some of these commandments may perhaps be quite all right as they sound. But he who has lived under the Law of Jante during the fifteen years it took him to develop, who has come to realize its bloody emphasis and its hysterical thirst for power, regards these commandments very differently.”
