Henrik Ibsen
Image
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
Image
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
Oh, law and order! I often think it is that that is at the bottom of all the misery in the world.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
...every man shares the responsibility and the guilt of the society to which he belongs.
Henrik Ibsen
