Famous quotes “For a “monotheistic” religion it should be sufficient with three gods.” “What is there to be said about a Church which certainly promises its believers eternal salvation, but at the same time condemns the non-believers, all those who think differently, to an eternal torment in hell? – If that Church absolutely must talk about love, then it should do so very quietly.” Selected works Den ensomme fest (1911) Berget det blå (1927) En Hustavle (1929) Den røde front (1937) Vi overlever alt (1945) Sverdet bak døren (1956) Livets minutter (1965) Awards Gyldendal's Endowment (1935) Dobloug Prize (1951) Mads Wiel Nygaards legat (1961) References Other sources Hambro, Carl (1984) Arnulf Øverland : det brennende hjerte (Oslo: Aschehoug) External links "Du må ikke sove!"
