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
This is life! It can harden and it can exalt!
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
