More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
You don't get nothing for nothing in this life.
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
The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.
Henrik Ibsen
Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
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
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
Henrik Ibsen
Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.
Henrik Ibsen
...every man shares the responsibility and the guilt of the society to which he belongs.
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
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides they are not keeping anything back there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
Henrik Ibsen
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Henrik Ibsen
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
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
Money brings you food, but not appetite medicine, but not health acquaintances, but not friends.
Henrik Ibsen
Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.
Henrik Ibsen
