More quotes by 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
People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.
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
But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.
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
Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing

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
In the decisive moment I won the victory over myself. I chose to live. And believe me, it takes courage to choose life under those circumstances.
Henrik Ibsen
It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life
Henrik Ibsen
A friend married is a friend lost.
Henrik Ibsen
It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
Don't use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
Henrik Ibsen
