19 Quotes by Estonian authors

Estonian sayings walk softly, carrying the hush of pine forests and the brine of the Baltic. They favor spare words, dry humor, and a stubborn faith in work, weather, and waiting. You’ll hear the crackle of a Jaanipäev bonfire, the creak of a sauna door, the patience of bogs and rye fields. Literature joins in with clear-eyed melancholy and sudden warmth, songs that keep step in minor keys, epics that tramp through snow, reminding that silence can guide, and small deeds steady a life.
