More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
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
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
I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.
Henrik Ibsen
It was then that I began to look into the seams of your doctrine. I wanted only to pick at a single knot but when I had got that undone, the whole thing raveled out. And then I understood that it was all machine-sewn.
Henrik Ibsen
I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.
Henrik Ibsen
The devil is compromise.
Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen
In your power, all the same. Subject to your will and your demands. No longer free! No! That's a thought I'll never endure! Never.
Henrik Ibsen
The spectacles of experience through them you will see more clearly a second time.
Henrik Ibsen
I am sticking as closely to my subject as I can for my subject is precisely this, that it is the masses, the majority
Henrik Ibsen
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
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen
It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life
Henrik Ibsen
You don't get nothing for nothing in this life.
Henrik Ibsen
