Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
The majority never has right on its side.
Henrik Ibsen
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
Nobody can put a character on paper without - at any rate in part and at times - sitting as a model for it himself.
Henrik Ibsen
Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
Henrik Ibsen
Don't use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
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
Mrs LINDE: When you've sold yourself once for the sake of others, you don't do it second time.
Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words can't make the mark a single deed will leave.
Henrik Ibsen
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.
Henrik Ibsen
