“Why not make a TV series about firewood?’”

“What I’ve learned is that you should not ask a Norwegian what he likes about firewood, but how he does it—because that’s the way he reveals himself. You can tell a lot about a person from his firewood stack.”

Best article ever? Best article ever.

“One thing that really divides Norway is bark.”

Fantastic.

And bark down. Like a Swede.
