Henrik Ibsen
Almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.

Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
Don't use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
To die in agony upon a cross Does not create a martyr he must first Will his own execution.
Henrik Ibsen
