More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, 'I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.
Henrik Ibsen
Don't use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
Henrik Ibsen
The man-at-arms is the only man.
Henrik Ibsen
Oh, law and order! I often think it is that that is at the bottom of all the misery in the world.
Henrik Ibsen
And what if I did run my ship aground oh, still it was splendid to sail it!
Henrik Ibsen
The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
The majority never has right on its side.
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words can't make the mark a single deed will leave.
Henrik Ibsen
I'm plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.
Henrik Ibsen
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides they are not keeping anything back there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
Henrik Ibsen
People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
The strong must learn to be lonely.
Henrik Ibsen
I have other duties equally sacred ... Duties to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen
