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?

A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there’s no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it’s an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
HENRIK IBSEN

Agreement Confidence Forgiveness Marriage Myself

HENRIK IBSEN

Food Friendship Happiness Important Material Money Peace Reality Value Wisdom
