More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The majority is always wrong the minority is rarely right.
Henrik Ibsen
Now I am steel-set: I follow the call to the clear radiance and glow of the heights.
Henrik Ibsen
What's to become of the morally sound? Left out in the cold, I suppose. We must heal the sick.
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

Henrik Ibsen
A forest bird never wants a cage.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.
Henrik Ibsen
It's such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string — when one slips off, all the rest follow.
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words can't make the mark a single deed will leave.
Henrik Ibsen
Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
Henrik Ibsen
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
Henrik Ibsen
You have never loved me. You have only thought it pleasant to be in love with me.
Henrik Ibsen
If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
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.
Henrik Ibsen
