Memorable quotes in the aftermath

As you all know, Norway was hit with a tragedy on Friday afternoon. We've all heard so much about this over the last few days, so I'm not going to go in to it. All I wanted to share was some of my favorite quotes in the aftermath of all that has happened. To see how we've all handled this, both as private persons and as a country, and not the least our government, makes me proud to be Norwegian.

A special thanks to all who have showed their love and support around the world. It means a lot in a time like this.

Svaret på vold er enda mer demokrati, enda mer åpenhet, men aldri naivitet. - Jens Stoltenberg
The answer to violence is even more democracy, even more openness, but never naivety. Norwegian Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg

Vi er et lite land, men et stolt folk. - Jens Stoltenberg
We're a small country, but a proud people. - Norwegian PM

Vi er så få her i landet, hver fallen er bror eller venn. - Nordahl Grieg
We are so few in this country, every fallen is a brother or friend. - Norwegian author, Nordahl Grieg

Om én mann kan vise så mye hat, tenk hvor mye kjærlighet vi alle kan vise sammen. - Stine Renate Håheim
If one man can show so much hate, just think how much love we can show together. - Utøya survivor, Stine Renate Håheim

Thoughts and prayers are with all affected!
xoxo
