A Shakespeare could have arisen only on English soil. In the same way, your great dramatists and poets express the nature and essence of the Norwegian people, but they also express that which is universally valid for all mankind.
Gustav Stresemann
All Norwegian children learn to swim when they are very young because if you can't swim it is difficult to find a place to bathe.
Roald Dahl
As a cabin boy on a Norwegian sailing ship I earned five kronen a week in addition to my keep.
Fritz Sauckel
I have worked in a very close and cordial way with Norwegian representatives at many international meetings, and the pleasure I felt at those associations was equaled only by the profit I always secured from them.
Lester B. Pearson
I think what I came through is great, but my son can take it to another level, not having to fight racism. His mother's a Norwegian and I'm mixed up four or five times, so he can face the world.
James Brown
Ibsen was Norwegian by birth, but universal in spirit.
Liv Ullmann
My father was a Norwegian who came from a small town near Oslo. He broke his arm at the elbow when he was 14, and they amputated it.
Roald Dahl
People thought me a bit strange at first; a blond haired, blue-eyed Norwegian who sang Mexican folk songs, but I used it to my advantage and got a job. And so the music became my ticket to education.
David Soul
Though my father was Norwegian, he always wrote his diaries in perfect English.
Roald Dahl
We always had lutefisk for Christmas dinner, after which Dad read from the Norwegian Bible.
Peter Agre
Well, the biggest Norwegian newspaper regarded this as an arrest, since they hadn't told us that they were coming and they brought me in. So the biggest Norwegian newspaper looked upon that as an arrest.
