It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
Henrik Ibsen
What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such advanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truth is as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.
Henrik Ibsen
What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
Henrik Ibsen
Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.
Henrik Ibsen

Mrs LINDE: When you've sold yourself once for the sake of others, you don't do it second time.
Henrik Ibsen
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides they are not keeping anything back there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
Henrik Ibsen
I go to scale the Future's possibilities! Farewell!
Henrik Ibsen
In your power, all the same. Subject to your will and your demands. No longer free! No! That's a thought I'll never endure! Never.
Henrik Ibsen
The majority never has right on its side.
Henrik Ibsen
I have other duties equally sacred ... Duties to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
A woman cannot be herself in the society of the present day, which is an exclusively masculine society, with laws framed by men and with a judicial system that judges feminine conduct from a masculine point of view.
Henrik Ibsen
Nothing is impossible that one desires with an indomitable will.
Henrik Ibsen
That is the accursed thing about small surroundings -- they make the soul small.
Henrik Ibsen
The sea possesses a power over one's moods that has the effect of a will. The sea can hypnotize. Nature in general can do so.
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.
