Klas-Gösta Olsson: The speechwriter, Colonel

Quotes 

• The speechwriter : My approach was a rather philosophical one. About being human year after year. This is how I see it. Life is time, and time is a stretch of road. That makes life a journey, a trip. Don't you think so?

  Stefan : Yes. I guess you could look at it that way.

  The speechwriter : Yet in order to travel you need a map and a compass. Otherwise you wouldn't know where you were. Would you?

  Stefan : No.

  The speechwriter : And our map and compass are our traditions. Our heritage, our history. Aren't they?

  Stefan : Yeah, sure.

  The speechwriter : If we don't understand this... Before we know it, we're fumbling around in the dark. Where are we?
