The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
Image
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
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
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
Image
A friend married is a friend lost.
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?
