"Ini adalah kekhasan budaya Norwegia dan bahasa Inggris dan Amerika juga, bahwa laki-laki tidak seharusnya menangis. Bibir atas yang kaku dan semua itu. Tetapi Viking menangis seperti wanita di depan umum atau secara pribadi. Mereka merendam janggut mereka dengan air mata dan tidak sedikit pun malu tentang hal itu. Namun, mereka dengan cepat menarik pedang mereka seperti mereka menangis. Jadi, apa semua omong kosong tentang pria harus menahan kesedihan dan kesedihan dan kekecewaan mereka?"

--- Philip Jose Farmer

Versi Bahasa Inggris

It's a peculiarity of the Norwegian culture and of the English and American, too, that men are not supposed to cry. Stiff upper lip and all that. But the Vikings cried like women in public or privately. They soaked their beards with tears and were not one bit ashamed about it. Yet, they were as quick to draw their swords as they were to shed tears. So, what's all this crap about men having to hold in their sorrow and grief and disappointment?
