Henrik Ibsen

I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.

To live is - to war with trolls In the holds of the heart and mind

Mrs LINDE: When you've sold yourself once for the sake of others, you don't do it second time.

You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.

The most dangerous enemy of the truth and freedom amongst us is the compact majority

It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life

NORA: I must stand on my own two feet if I'm to get to know myself and the world outside. That's why I can't stay here with you any longer.

Helmer: I would gladly work night and day for you. Nora- bear sorrow and want for your sake. But no man would sacrafice his honor for the one he loves. Nora: It is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done.

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.

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

One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, 'I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.

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

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.

The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.

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.
