More quotes by 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
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
Don't use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
...I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.

Henrik Ibsen
HELMER But this is disgraceful. Is this the way you neglect your most sacred duties? NORA: What do you consider is my most sacred duty? HELMER: Do I have to tell you that? Isn't it your duty to your husband and children? NORA:I have another duty, just as sacred. HELMER: You can't have. What duty do you mean? NORA: My duty to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
Before I write down one word, I have to have the character in my mind through and through. I must penetrate into the last wrinkle of his soul.
Henrik Ibsen
Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
Henrik Ibsen
You have never loved me. You have only thought it pleasant to be in love with me.
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
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
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
The man-at-arms is the only man.
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.
Henrik Ibsen
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.
Henrik Ibsen
The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools?
