Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
I have other duties equally sacred ... Duties to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
A forest bird never wants a cage.
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
Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.
