More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The sea possesses a power over one's moods that has the effect of a will. The sea can hypnotize. Nature in general can do so.
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
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
The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
Henrik Ibsen
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen
It is not for a care-free existence I am fighting, but for the possibility of devoting myself to the task which I believe and know has been laid upon me by God -- the work which seems to me more important and needful in Norway than any other, that of arousing the nation and leading it to think great thoughts.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
You don't get nothing for nothing in this life.
Henrik Ibsen
But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.
Henrik Ibsen
What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Henrik Ibsen
NORA: I must stand on my own two feet if I'm to get to know myself and the world outside. That's why I can't stay here with you any longer.
Henrik Ibsen
This is life! It can harden and it can exalt!
Henrik Ibsen
The spectacles of experience through them you will see more clearly a second time.
Henrik Ibsen
Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.
