The sea possesses a power ove...

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 158 quotes

What sort of truths are they ...

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 158 quotes

It is not for a care-free exi...

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 158 quotes

Oh courage...oh yes! If only ...

Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Many a man can save himself if he admits he's done wrong and takes his punishment.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Oh yes, right—right. What is ...

Oh yes, right—right. What is the use of having right on your side if you have not got might?

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Oh, yes--you can shout me dow...

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 158 quotes

There is something so indescribably sweet and satisfying in the knowledge that a husband or wife has forgiven the other freely, and from the heart.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

There is so much falsehood both at home and at school. At home one must not speak, and at school we have to stand and tell lies to the children.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

The majority never has right ...

The majority never has right on its side.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Everything I touch seems destined to turn into something mean and farcical.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

It's not only what we have in...

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 158 quotes

Most critical fault-finding, ...

Most critical fault-finding, when reduced to its essentials, simply amounts to reproach of the author because he is himself -- thinks, feels, sees, and creates, as himself, instead of seeing and creating in the way the critic would have done.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

So to conduct one's life as t...

So to conduct one's life as to realize oneself-this seems to me the highest attainment possible to a human being. It is the task of one and all of us, but most of us bungle it.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

In your power, all the same. ...

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 158 quotes

It's such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string — when one slips off, all the rest follow.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

I'm plotting revolution again...

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 158 quotes

Ghosts! [ ] I almost think we ...

Ghosts! [ ] I almost think we are all of us ghosts. It is not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that 'walks' in us. It is 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 cannot shake them off. Whenever I take up a newspaper, I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. There must be ghosts all the country over, as thick as the sands of the sea. And then we are, one and all, so pitifully afraid of the light.

The strong must learn to be lonely.
