Henrik Ibsen
Nothing is impossible that one desires with an indomitable will.
Henrik Ibsen
The younger generation will come knocking at my door.
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?
Henrik Ibsen
The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.
Henrik Ibsen
To die in agony upon a cross Does not create a martyr he must first Will his own execution.

Henrik Ibsen
I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
Henrik Ibsen
The strong must learn to be lonely.
Henrik Ibsen
Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
Henrik Ibsen
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
And what if I did run my ship aground oh, still it was splendid to sail it!
Henrik Ibsen
What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?
Henrik Ibsen
...every man shares the responsibility and the guilt of the society to which he belongs.
Henrik Ibsen
Don't use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
Henrik Ibsen
