Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
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

Henrik Ibsen
Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
Henrik Ibsen
What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such advanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truth is as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
NORA: I must stand on my own two feet if I'm to get to know myself and the world outside. That's why I can't stay here with you any longer.
Henrik Ibsen
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Henrik Ibsen
