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
Money brings you food, but not appetite medicine, but not health acquaintances, but not friends.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
...I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.
Henrik Ibsen
The majority never has right on its side.
Henrik Ibsen
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
Before I write down one word, I have to have the character in my mind through and through. I must penetrate into the last wrinkle of his soul.
Henrik Ibsen
