More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The starving poet business is no good nowadays.
Henrik Ibsen
It's such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string — when one slips off, all the rest follow.
Henrik Ibsen
If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
Henrik Ibsen
I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
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
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words can't make the mark a single deed will leave.
Henrik Ibsen
Helmer: Before all else you are a wife and a mother. Nora: That I no longer believe. I believe that before all else I am a human being.
Henrik Ibsen
So to conduct one's life as to realize oneself-this seems to me the highest attainment possible to a human being. It is the task of one and all of us, but most of us bungle it.
Henrik Ibsen
Nobody can put a character on paper without - at any rate in part and at times - sitting as a model for it himself.
Henrik Ibsen
The sea possesses a power over one's moods that has the effect of a will. The sea can hypnotize. Nature in general can do so.
Henrik Ibsen
A forest bird never wants a cage.
Henrik Ibsen
But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.
Henrik Ibsen
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen
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
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
Henrik Ibsen
