More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
Henrik Ibsen
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
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
I am sticking as closely to my subject as I can for my subject is precisely this, that it is the masses, the majority
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
And what if I did run my ship aground oh, still it was splendid to sail it!
Henrik Ibsen
Oh, yes--you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side--unfortunately but right it has not.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
A forest bird never wants a cage.
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
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
The spectacles of experience through them you will see more clearly a second time.
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
Nothing is impossible that one desires with an indomitable will.
Henrik Ibsen
There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
Henrik Ibsen
The devil is compromise.
Henrik Ibsen
The starving poet business is no good nowadays.
Henrik Ibsen
It was then that I began to look into the seams of your doctrine. I wanted only to pick at a single knot but when I had got that undone, the whole thing raveled out. And then I understood that it was all machine-sewn.
