More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.
Henrik Ibsen
Mrs LINDE: When you've sold yourself once for the sake of others, you don't do it second time.
Henrik Ibsen
...I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.
Henrik Ibsen
Was the majority right when they stood by while Jesus was crucified? Was the majority right when they refused to believe that the earth moved around the sun and let Galileo be driven to his knees like a dog? It takes fifty years for the majority to be right. The majority is never right until it does right.
Henrik Ibsen
You don't get nothing for nothing in this life.
Henrik Ibsen
It's not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that walks in us. It's all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we can't get rid of them.
Henrik Ibsen
The spectacles of experience through them you will see more clearly a second time.
Henrik Ibsen
I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Henrik Ibsen
So to conduct one's life as to realize oneself-this seems to me the highest attainment possible to a human being. It is the task of one and all of us, but most of us bungle it.
Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
Money brings you food, but not appetite medicine, but not health acquaintances, but not friends.
Henrik Ibsen
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Henrik Ibsen
Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
Henrik Ibsen
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools?
Henrik Ibsen
What's to become of the morally sound? Left out in the cold, I suppose. We must heal the sick.
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen
One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, 'I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.
Henrik Ibsen
