I’m afraid for all those who’ll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

Henrik Ibsen

The strongest men are the most alone.
HENRIK IBSEN

Alone Man Strong
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
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
In the decisive moment I won the victory over myself. I chose to live. And believe me, it takes courage to choose life under those circumstances.
HENRIK IBSEN

Circumstance Decision Moments Victory
It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will.
HENRIK IBSEN

Achievement Man Transformation Willing
Marriage! Nothing else demands so much of a man.
HENRIK IBSEN

Demand Man Marriage
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
Oh, yes–you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side–unfortunately; but right it has not.
HENRIK IBSEN

Marriage is something you have to give your whole mind to.

I believe that, before all else, I’m a human being, no less than you.

The greatest victory is defeat.
HENRIK IBSEN

Everything that I have written is closely related to something that I have lived through.

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

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
It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
HENRIK IBSEN

Act Courage Known Possible Release
Writing has… been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.
