Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen

This is life! It can harden and it can exalt!
Henrik Ibsen
Image
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen

The sea possesses a power over one's moods that has the effect of a will. The sea can hypnotize. Nature in general can do so.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
I go to scale the Future's possibilities! Farewell!
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Nothing is impossible that one desires with an indomitable will.
Henrik Ibsen

When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen

The man-at-arms is the only man.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?
Henrik Ibsen
Image
It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Oh, yes--you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side--unfortunately but right it has not.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
In your power, all the same. Subject to your will and your demands. No longer free! No! That's a thought I'll never endure! Never.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
