The Best Quotes From Skam That Everyone Needs To Hear
❤
It sucks to say it but Skam is officially ending. Season 4 is about to be over and I find myself rewatching seasons over and over again.
It’s strange how I’ve never been more in love with a show than I am with Skam (Norwegian for ‘Shame’). Let alone one that isn’t in English.
But here I am, professing my love for it simply because of the many lessons it taught me within the span of four seasons. Seriously though, there’s so much to take from all the characters and their story-lines that I can’t help but feel the need to share them.
So here are quotes from Skam that have really hit me hard so much so that I’m never going back:
1. “Your opinion meant more than my own and that’s not how it should be. I have to find out what my own opinion is. And I have to do it on my own.” — Eva
2. “When everything seems hopeless just take one day at a time. And if one day becomes too much, just take one hour at a time. And if one hour becomes too much, then just take one minute at a time.” — Sonja
3. “Hate doesn’t come from religion, it comes from fear.” — Sana
4. “There’s only one thing we know for sure. That life is now.” — Isak
5. You know you don’t have to face everything in the world on your own? — Eskild
6. “I can have sex, Vilde. I just choose not to.” — Sana
7. “People experience horrible things every day, and they still manage to be nice to others.” — Noora
8. “Only you can feel what you feel.” — Isak
9. “Du er ikke alene” — Isak
10. “The second you start looking for hate, you find it. And when you find hate, you start hating.” — Isak
11. “[…] And that’s not because they want to be different, but because they’d rather die, than pretend to be someone they’re not.” — Eskild
12. “I stress through the day with a hundred thoughts in my head and everything can be total chaos, but when I start to pray, everything turns silent and clear. “— Sana
13. “It’s very painful to feel heartache and you’ll think its never going to end, but it does.” — Eskild
14. “War doesn’t start with violence. It starts with misunderstandings and prejudice. If you say you’re in favour of a world full of peace you have to try to understand why others think and act the way they do.” — Sana
15. “What is more important, going around saying you believe in Allah or living like you believe in him?” — Elias
16. “You can’t ask us to use our sexuality in exchang for credibility.” — Noora
17. “She’s not crazy, she’s bipolar.” — Magnus
18. “ALT ER LOVE” — Skam
I’d add some explanations to why I love each quote, but I’m falling asleep. So another day, maybe.
To all Skam fans out there, I’m glad we’ve fallen in love with these characters. It’s so nice when we notice small details that sometimes play big parts to the show and I can’t explain enough the amount of important topics this series touches on. And how relatable it is on so many levels. When I’m older, with children of my own, I’m definitely going to make them watch this. It’s a gem, seriously.
