People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.
Henrik Ibsen

Really to sin you have to be serious about it.
Henrik Ibsen

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

Marriage! Nothing else demands so much of a man.
Henrik Ibsen

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.
Henrik Ibsen

Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it... it's just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen

The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
