More quotes by 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
That is the accursed thing about small surroundings -- they make the soul small.
Henrik Ibsen
To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
Henrik Ibsen
You don't get nothing for nothing in this life.
Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
Was the majority right when they stood by while Jesus was crucified? Was the majority right when they refused to believe that the earth moved around the sun and let Galileo be driven to his knees like a dog? It takes fifty years for the majority to be right. The majority is never right until it does right.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen

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
I am sticking as closely to my subject as I can for my subject is precisely this, that it is the masses, the majority
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
Henrik Ibsen
Helmer: Before all else you are a wife and a mother. Nora: That I no longer believe. I believe that before all else I am a human being.
Henrik Ibsen
The spectacles of experience through them you will see more clearly a second time.
Henrik Ibsen
But a scientific man must live in a little bit of style.
Henrik Ibsen
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
Henrik Ibsen
The man-at-arms is the only man.
Henrik Ibsen
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen
It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life
Henrik Ibsen
