If one granted instead 40-50 thousand crowns to living culture I might not need to buy lottery tickets every Friday and Saturday on the stairs outside the store in Ballangen.
From a letter to the editor signed by A.M. Hagerup, who is of the opinion that the money should be spent instead on (for instance) vocal music and theatre. Ofotens Tidende 13.10.92
(he comments on a previous cast for a sculpture).

Many people wonder how many sick persons might have been assisted by the money spent on the sculpture, but the thought, the fantasy and the ability to think need assistance as well.

Heaven on earth. Neither the parson Henrik Højlund nor the Director of Cultural Affairs for Ballangen Liv Ingebrigtsen are able to imagine a more beautiful setting for a church service in the open air.
