Here’s some quotes from Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg’s speech at the memoral service:

Today it is time for sorrow. We shall allow ourselves to stop, and honour the dead. Mourn for those who are no more. 92 human lives are lost. Several are still missing. Each and everyone of those is a tragedy. Together, they make a national tragedy.

Amid the tragedy I am proud to live in a country that has managed to stand firm. I am impressed over how much dignity, care and strength we have. We are a small country, but we are a proud people. We are still shaken, but we will never give up our values. Our answer is more democracy and openness, never naivety.

Cites a girl from the AUF camp (the youth Labour party): “If one man can show so much hatred, imagine how much love we can all show together.

Hope to see thousands of lights tomorrow.
