“Perhaps it is not a coincidence that everything that has to do with hygge makes us feel happy, calm, and safe.”
― Meik Wiking, The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living

“Danes are not the only ones who can have hygge or identify it, and other languages have similar expressions. The Dutch call it gezelligheid and Germans talk of Gemütlichkeit, a sense of well-being based on good food and good company, and Canadians will recognize it as “hominess.”
― Meik Wiking, The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living

“It's somewhere we sit by ourselves to rest while experiencing ultimate feelings of coziness and warmth, and its somewhere we spend time with our dear ones to intensify our feeling of togetherness.”
― Meik Wiking, The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well
