Zitate und Sprüche über Island

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a flight to Iceland - and that's practically the same thing.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

There's a feeling I get when I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Oh, the sea was red, and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Canada also helped in two world wars and gave the world Neil Young, William Shatner, Leonard Cohen, Pamela Anderson, one quarter of Barney Stinson, instant mashed potatoes and best of all - you.

Look, if Michael Jordan's healthy, you don't let Scottie Pippen run the offense. Oh, you're from Canada, right. If Wayne Gretzky's healthy, you don't let François... what I'm saying is: hockey is stupid and I'm point guy!

If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings.

Australia... home of every animal that seems like it should already be extinct.

In order to get cheap accommodation in Australia, we like foreign people to do manual labour for us. Helping feed the cows is very important, they are the future of McDonald's.

People moving to Norway has made Norway richer, economically, but also our culture has become more rich in many ways.

November always seems to me the Norway of the year.

We need to stop the Islamisation of the Netherlands.

In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns.

Denmark... also known as "wrong Norway", "different Sweden" and "that's actually not Finland".

The Ukrainian people are defending the values of freedom and democracy on which our civilization is based, and the very foundations of international law.

The special military operation was done for the purpose of "denazification," while we've made Ukraine into a nation that's known throughout the world. They're like the Greeks or the Romans at their peaks. And as far as "demilitarization," if they had some 500 tanks at the start of the special military operation, now they have 5,000. If they had 20,000 capable fighters before, now they have 400,000. What kind of demilitarization is that? Now it looks more like we did the opposite, somehow or other, and militarized Ukraine.
