More quotes by Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen
Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
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
Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
Henrik Ibsen
Ive had the best possible chance of learning that what the working-classes really need is to be allowed some part in the direction of public affairs, Doctorto develop their abilities, their understanding and their self-respect.

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
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.
Henrik Ibsen
If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
Henrik Ibsen
Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
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
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
What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?
Henrik Ibsen
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
