What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

The sea possesses a power over...

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

Nobody can put a character on ...

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 158 quotes

Everything I touch seems desti...

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

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

I don't imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

The majority is never right. N...

The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools?

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Ah, I fancy it is just the sam...

Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your emancipation. You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields - discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West - superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Happiness is above all things ...

Happiness is above all things the calm, glad certainty of innocence.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

And what if I did run my ship ...

And what if I did run my ship aground; oh, still it was splendid to sail it!

This is life! It can harden and it can exalt!

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

Oh, life would be all right if...

Oh, life would be all right if we didn't have to put up with these damned creditors who keep pestering us with the demands of their ideals.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

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 158 quotes

Marriage is something you have...

Marriage is something you have to give your whole mind to.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

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

The man whom God wills to slay...

The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

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 158 quotes

Before I write down one word, ...

Before I write down one word, I have to have the character in my mind through and through. I must penetrate into the last wrinkle of his soul.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

There is always a risk in being alive, and if you are more alive, there is more risk.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

To live is to war with trolls ...

To live is to war with trolls in heart and woul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.

Henrik Ibsen 158 quotes

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

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.
