More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.
Henrik Ibsen
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
If only I could master that demon of procrastination that goes about like a roaring lion and devours all my good intentions, I should become the most punctual man in the world.
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
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
The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
Henrik Ibsen
Oh, yes--you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side--unfortunately but right it has not.
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
The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.
Henrik Ibsen
The younger generation will come knocking at my door.
Henrik Ibsen
Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words can't make the mark a single deed will leave.
Henrik Ibsen
It's not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that walks in us. It's all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we can't get rid of them.
Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Henrik Ibsen
It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.
Henrik Ibsen
A friend married is a friend lost.
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
To die in agony upon a cross Does not create a martyr he must first Will his own execution.
Henrik Ibsen
