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
Image
There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.

Henrik Ibsen

Money brings you food, but not appetite medicine, but not health acquaintances, but not friends.
Henrik Ibsen

The greatest victory is defeat.
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
Image

Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite medicine, but not health acquaintance, but not friends servants, but not loyalty days of joy, but not peace or happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
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.

Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.
