More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
What's to become of the morally sound? Left out in the cold, I suppose. We must heal the sick.
Henrik Ibsen
Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
It is not for a care-free existence I am fighting, but for the possibility of devoting myself to the task which I believe and know has been laid upon me by God -- the work which seems to me more important and needful in Norway than any other, that of arousing the nation and leading it to think great thoughts.
Henrik Ibsen
HELMER But this is disgraceful. Is this the way you neglect your most sacred duties? NORA: What do you consider is my most sacred duty? HELMER: Do I have to tell you that? Isn't it your duty to your husband and children? NORA:I have another duty, just as sacred. HELMER: You can't have. What duty do you mean? NORA: My duty to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen
The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.
Henrik Ibsen
Look into any man's heart you please, and you will always find, in every one, at least one black spot which he has to keep concealed.
Henrik Ibsen
Oh, law and order! I often think it is that that is at the bottom of all the misery in the world.
Henrik Ibsen

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
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 majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools?
Henrik Ibsen
Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.
Henrik Ibsen
I have other duties equally sacred ... Duties to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
Henrik Ibsen
Almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.
Henrik Ibsen
And what if I did run my ship aground oh, still it was splendid to sail it!
Henrik Ibsen
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen
Now I am steel-set: I follow the call to the clear radiance and glow of the heights.
Henrik Ibsen
Ive had the best possible chance of learning that what the working-classes really need is to be allowed some part in the direction of public affairs, Doctorto develop their abilities, their understanding and their self-respect.
