More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life
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
Helmer: Before all else you are a wife and a mother. Nora: That I no longer believe. I believe that before all else I am a human being.
Henrik Ibsen
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.
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
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
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
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
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
If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
Henrik Ibsen
The man-at-arms is the only man.
Henrik Ibsen
Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
Henrik Ibsen
NORA: I must stand on my own two feet if I'm to get to know myself and the world outside. That's why I can't stay here with you any longer.
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
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen
You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
Henrik Ibsen
I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.
Henrik Ibsen
