Henrik Ibsen
Image

Henrik Ibsen
Image

Henrik Ibsen
Image
The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
You have never loved me. You have only thought it pleasant to be in love with me.
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
Almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
...every man shares the responsibility and the guilt of the society to which he belongs.
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.
