More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The strong must learn to be lonely.
Henrik Ibsen
And what if I did run my ship aground oh, still it was splendid to sail it!
Henrik Ibsen
That is the accursed thing about small surroundings -- they make the soul small.
Henrik Ibsen
This is life! It can harden and it can exalt!
Henrik Ibsen
The starving poet business is no good nowadays.
Henrik Ibsen
Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
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
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
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
The sea possesses a power over one's moods that has the effect of a will. The sea can hypnotize. Nature in general can do so.
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 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
When we dead awaken ... we see that we have never lived.
Henrik Ibsen
If I cannot be myself in what I write, then the whole is nothing but lies and humbug.
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
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
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
It is not for a care-free existence I am fighting, but for the possibility of devoting myself to the task which I believe and know has been laid upon me by God -- the work which seems to me more important and needful in Norway than any other, that of arousing the nation and leading it to think great thoughts.
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
I go to scale the Future's possibilities! Farewell!
Henrik Ibsen
