What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one’s self?

Henrik Ibsen

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

Brave Courage Life Live Oneself
To live is to war with trolls.
HENRIK IBSEN

Live Troll War
When you’ve sold yourself once for the sake of others, you don’t do it second time.
HENRIK IBSEN

Sold Time Value Yourself
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

Life Myself Possible Realize
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

Fact Imagination Myself Present Willing
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

Lying Old Practice Revolution Truth Yourself
The most dangerous enemy of the truth and freedom amongst us is the compact majority.
HENRIK IBSEN

Compact Dangerous Enemy Majority
Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.
HENRIK IBSEN

Darkness Existence Fight Force Ourselves
I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.

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

The younger generation will come knocking at my door.
HENRIK IBSEN

Door Generation Myself Young
I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.
HENRIK IBSEN

Lying Myself Raise Revolution Truth
Don’t use that foreign word: ideals. We have the excellent native word: lies.
HENRIK IBSEN

Excellence Foreign Ideal Lying Word
A party is like a sausage machine, it grinds up all sorts of heads together into the same baloney.
HENRIK IBSEN

Head Machine Togetherness
Marriage! Nothing else demands so much of a man.
HENRIK IBSEN

Demand Man Marriage
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

Fools Freedom Intelligence Lying Majority People Population Right
