Henrik Ibsen
Image
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.

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

I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
Image
Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
A woman cannot be herself in the society of the present day, which is an exclusively masculine society, with laws framed by men and with a judicial system that judges feminine conduct from a masculine point of view.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Look into any man's heart you please, and you will always find, in every one, at least one black spot which he has to keep concealed.
Henrik Ibsen
