More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
I hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.
Henrik Ibsen
It's not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that walks in us. It's all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we can't get rid of them.
Henrik Ibsen
You don't get nothing for nothing in this life.
Henrik Ibsen
In your power, all the same. Subject to your will and your demands. No longer free! No! That's a thought I'll never endure! Never.
Henrik Ibsen
Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
And what if I did run my ship aground oh, still it was splendid to sail it!
Henrik Ibsen
I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.
Henrik Ibsen
Nothing is impossible that one desires with an indomitable will.
Henrik Ibsen
If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
Henrik Ibsen
What's to become of the morally sound? Left out in the cold, I suppose. We must heal the sick.
Henrik Ibsen
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
