Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite medicine, but not health acquaintance, but not friends servants, but not loyalty days of joy, but not peace or happiness.

More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen
But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.
Henrik Ibsen
It's such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string — when one slips off, all the rest follow.
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

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
HELMER But this is disgraceful. Is this the way you neglect your most sacred duties? NORA: What do you consider is my most sacred duty? HELMER: Do I have to tell you that? Isn't it your duty to your husband and children? NORA:I have another duty, just as sacred. HELMER: You can't have. What duty do you mean? NORA: My duty to myself.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
A forest bird never wants a cage.
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
To die in agony upon a cross Does not create a martyr he must first Will his own execution.
Henrik Ibsen
Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
Henrik Ibsen
I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.
Henrik Ibsen
There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Henrik Ibsen
