Ethnographer quotes
" A civilized nation can have no enemies, and one cannot draw a line across a map, a line that doesn't even exist in nature and say that the ugly enemy lives on the one side, and good friends live on the other. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" But if we begin thinking about the world being over 100 million years old, then it's absolutely by chance that you and I are sitting here alive today, while all the others are dead or have never been born. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" For every minute, the future is becoming the past. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" I also believe that when one dies, one may wake up to the reality that proves that time does not exist. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" I don't believe in war as a solution to any kind of conflict, nor do I believe in heroism on the battlefield because I have never seen any. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" I feel that God is behind every flower and every tree in the woods. He is behind every mountain rock and every foam-crested wave in the sea. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" I have never been able to grasp the meaning of time. I don't believe it exists. I've felt this again and again, when alone and out in nature. On such occasions, time does not exist. Nor does the future exist. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" I was in uniform for four years, and I know that heroism doesn't occur from taking orders, but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" It is also rarer to find happiness in a man surrounded by the miracles of technology than among people living in the desert of the jungle and who by the standards set by our society would be considered destitute and out of touch. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" It says in the Bible, in plain words, that God made a self-portrait. He created man in His own image - man and woman - for God is Love.Why should we start thinking of a god up in the clouds with wings, if He dwells within us in the spirit of Love?! "

Thor Heyerdahl
" One learns more from listening than speaking.And both the wind and the people who continue to live close to nature still have much to tell us which we cannot hear within university walls. "

Thor Heyerdahl
" People had already settled the islands in the Mediterranean and around Great Britain long before the first pharaoh built the pyramids in Egypt. "
