• It gladdens me to know that Baldr’s father [Odin] makes ready the benches for a banquet. Soon we shall be drinking ale from the curved horns. The champion who comes into Odin’s dwelling [Valhalla] does not lament his death. I shall not enter his hall with words of fear upon my lips. The Æsir will welcome me. Death comes without lamenting… Eager am I to depart. The Dísir summon me home, those whom Odin sends for me [Valkyries] from the halls of the Lord of Hosts. Gladly shall I drink ale in the high-seat with the Æsir. The days of my life are ended. I laugh as I die.

• I do not regard the rise of woman as a bad sign. Rather do I fancy that her traditional subordination was itself an artificial and undesirable condition based on Oriental influences. Our virile Teutonic ancestors did not think their wives unworthy to follow them into battle, or scorn to dream of winged Valkyries bearing them to Valhalla.

• En cuanto a lo primitivo, me remito a ello porque seguimos siendo muy primitivos. ¿Cuántos miles de años de cultura, piensa usted, han frotado y pulido nuestros bordes en bruto? Probablemente uno; en el mejor de los casos, no más de dos. Y eso nos retrotrae al salvajismo gritón, cuando, groseros de cuerpo y obra, bebíamos sangre de los cráneos de nuestros enemigos, y aclamábamos como el más alto paraíso las orgías y carnicerías del Valhalla.

• Think of the glory. Think of your reputation. Think how great it'll look on your next resume." On my cenotaph, you mean. Nobody will be able to collect enough of my scattered atoms to bury. You going to cover my funeral expenses, son?" Splendidly. Banners, dancing girls, and enough beer to float your coffin to Valhalla." - Miles coaxing Ky Tung to agree to an almost suicidal mission

• El Valhalla a la derecha. El paraíso recuperado a la izquierda. Atrapado entre una trufa Godiva y un pastel de chocolate. Entre la espada y la pared. Dos lugares muy duros por lo que parece.

• We humans are naturally disposed to worship gods and heroes, to build our pantheons and valhallas. I would rather see that impulse directed into the adoration of daft singers, thicko footballers and air-headed screen actors than into the veneration of dogmatic zealots, fanatical preachers, militant politicians and rabid cultural commentators.

• África es mística; es salvaje; es un infierno sofocante; es el paraíso de un fotógrafo, el Valhalla de un cazador, la utopía de un escapista. Es lo que usted quiera, y resiste todas las interpretaciones. Es el último vestigio de un mundo muerto o la cuna de uno nuevo y brillante. Para mucha gente, como para mí, es simplemente "mi hogar". Es todas estas cosas menos una: nunca es aburrida.

• As for Hitler, his professed religion unhesitatingly juxtaposed the God-Providence and Valhalla. Actually his god was an argument at a political meeting and a manner of reaching an impressive climax at the end of speeches.

• Nunca he creado un campo de golf que favorezca a nadie. Intento que sea exactamente lo contrario, que es lo que hicimos en Valhalla cuando lo modernizamos para adaptarlo a las longitudes con las que los jugadores lo golpean hoy en día.
