More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.
Henrik Ibsen
That is the accursed thing about small surroundings -- they make the soul small.
Henrik Ibsen
What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such advanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truth is as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.
Henrik Ibsen
NORA: I must stand on my own two feet if I'm to get to know myself and the world outside. That's why I can't stay here with you any longer.
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 have other duties equally sacred ... Duties to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
Henrik Ibsen
The younger generation will come knocking at my door.
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
I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.
Henrik Ibsen
The devil is compromise.
Henrik Ibsen
The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
Henrik Ibsen
Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen
The greatest victory is defeat.
Henrik Ibsen
The man-at-arms is the only man.
Henrik Ibsen
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen
There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
Henrik Ibsen
Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
Henrik Ibsen
You have never loved me. You have only thought it pleasant to be in love with me.
Henrik Ibsen
