| Norwegian can be so many things by Martin Moe From the telephone directory for Oslo and surroundings: Norwegian Compost , Ltd A norwegian writer who managed to be as norwegian as it is possible to be , Henrik Wergeland, (he designed the national flag and wrote a lot of works nobody have read outside of Norway) said as a matter of case: ¨To make Norway as norwegian as possible, that is what it is all about.¨ An other wellknown/unknown norwegian, Aasmund Olavson Vinje, said
about the norwegian character:¨It had to be put together and restored
(note the metaphore) and if it doesn’t exist, it has to be invented.¨
