Mark Steyn

I mean, Iceland is Iceland. It can’t do damage to anybody unless you’re Icelandic. But the United States can drag down the entire western economy. And I think what we are seeing is simply a reflection of reality. This is not, I’m sorry, but this is not a AAA nation.

– Mark Steyn

– Jason Moran

Most early Icelandic paintings are landscapes.

Halldor Laxness

My thoughts fly to the old Icelandic storytellers who created our classics, whose personalities were so bound up with the masses that their names, unlike their lives’ work, have not been preserved for posterity.

– Halldor Laxness

Gylfi Sigurdsson

It’s something we’ve all been waiting to see happen to Icelandic football – to actually go to the World Cup.

Guy Gavriel Kay

I had been obsessed with the Arthurian legends all my life, and I knew that that would work its way into any trilogy I wrote. I was fascinated by the Eddas, the Norse and Icelandic legends, Odin on the world tree.
