How to Hygge Quotes

“Mention the ‘Sarah Lund jumper’ (also known as ‘The Killing jumper’, which sounds less benign) to a certain kind of Nordic noir fan and they’ll immediately enthuse about how much they adore Gudrun & Gudrun’s sweaters.”
― Signe Johansen, How to Hygge: The Nordic Secrets to a Happy Life

“to live a life of hygge requires kindness: kindness to ourselves in the everyday acts that bring contentedness and pleasure, and kindness to others in a spirit of kinship and conviviality.”
― Signe Johansen, How to Hygge: The Nordic Secrets to a Happy Life

“By hunting, I can—in essence—follow the meat from birth to plate. I know the meat is healthy, has had a happier life than much of the meat available in a supermarket, and it’s better for the environment and minimizes waste. I also think it’s important to face the fact that in order for me to eat meat, an animal has to die. It may sound like “no shit Sherlock” but a lot of people are happy to buy crap bacon from a supermarket, but are horrified when they see videos from slaughterhouses and have to face the consequences of buying cheap products.”
