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

Henrik Ibsen

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.

Nobody can put a character on paper without – at any rate in part and at times – sitting as a model for it himself.

The spectacles of experience; through them you will see more clearly a second time.
HENRIK IBSEN

There are two kinds of spiritual law, two kinds of conscience, one in man and another, altogether different, in woman. They do not understand each other; but in practical life the woman is judged by man’s law, as though she were not a woman but a man.
HENRIK IBSEN

If only I could master that demon of procrastination that goes about like a roaring lion and devours all my good intentions, I should become the most punctual man in the world.
