“For years, home has been idealised as a refuge from the world, somewhere predictable and unchanging. But home isn't just where we go to escape the world. Home is how we inhabit the world. Meaning comes from connection and a willingness to pay attention to the particulars of our lives, from the things we choose to use to our daily rituals and shared activities.”
― Louisa Thomsen Brits, The Book of Hygge: The Danish Art of Living Well

“A home is a place one's heart creates and so recognizes as its own. A place it enters of its own free will. All others are merely dwelling places.”

“Although home still represents stability in an unstable world, we're beginning to see that home can be how we live, a situation that we create and recreate.
Home is less attached to bricks and mortar and more about the lives we lead, the ways that we connect with each other, the communities we build.
Home is a state of mind, something we make for ourselves wherever we can.
Hygge is the home we make in the flux and flow of our lives.”
― Louisa Thomsen Brits, The Book of Hygge: The Danish Art of Living Well
