Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.
Henrik Ibsen

The majority never has right on its side.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Nobody can put a character on paper without - at any rate in part and at times - sitting as a model for it himself.
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
But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
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?

The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.
Henrik Ibsen

It's such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string — when one slips off, all the rest follow.
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
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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.

Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
