I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
Image
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.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
The man-at-arms is the only man.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
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

Henrik Ibsen
Image
I go to scale the Future's possibilities! Farewell!
Henrik Ibsen
Image
...I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
Image
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Look into any man's heart you please, and you will always find, in every one, at least one black spot which he has to keep concealed.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Oh, law and order! I often think it is that that is at the bottom of all the misery in the world.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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.
