More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The strong must learn to be lonely.
Henrik Ibsen
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen
...I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.
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
Now I am steel-set: I follow the call to the clear radiance and glow of the heights.
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
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
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
Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.
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
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
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
The starving poet business is no good nowadays.
Henrik Ibsen
Nothing is impossible that one desires with an indomitable will.
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
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
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
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
