You don’t get nothing for nothing in this life.

Henrik Ibsen

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

Finance Follow Rest Sports
I’m inclined to think we are all ghosts-every one of us. It’s not just what we inherit from our mothers and fathers that haunts us. Its all kinds of old defunct theories, all sorts of old defunct beliefs, and things like that.
HENRIK IBSEN

Belief Inheritance Mom Myself Thinking
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.
HENRIK IBSEN

Fair Majority Support Truth
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
HENRIK IBSEN

When we dead awaken. We see that we have never lived.

I have other duties equally sacred, Duties to myself.

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

Sold Time Value Yourself
Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness.
HENRIK IBSEN

Food Friendship Happiness Important Material Money Peace Reality Value Wisdom
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
The strongest men are the most alone.
HENRIK IBSEN

Helmer: “Before all else you are a wife and a mother.” Nora: “That I no longer believe. I believe that before all else I am a human being.”

Marriage! Nothing else demands so much of a man.

I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.
