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

I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
Henrik Ibsen

I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
Henrik Ibsen

That is the accursed thing about small surroundings -- they make the soul small.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Before I write down one word, I have to have the character in my mind through and through. I must penetrate into the last wrinkle of his soul.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides they are not keeping anything back there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
And what if I did run my ship aground oh, still it was splendid to sail it!

Mrs LINDE: When you've sold yourself once for the sake of others, you don't do it second time.

Money brings you food, but not appetite medicine, but not health acquaintances, but not friends.

The younger generation will come knocking at my door.
