Henrik Ibsen
Don't use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
That is the accursed thing about small surroundings -- they make the soul small.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.
Henrik Ibsen
The starving poet business is no good nowadays.
Henrik Ibsen
But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.
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
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Henrik Ibsen
What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?
Henrik Ibsen
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
Henrik Ibsen
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
Henrik Ibsen
