To see one’s goal and to drive toward it, steeling one’s heart, is most uplifting.

Henrik Ibsen

There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
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

It was then that I began to look into the seams of your doctrine. I wanted only to pick at a single knot; but when I had got that undone, the whole thing raveled out. And then I understood that it was all machine-sewn.

There is so much falsehood both at home and at school. At home one must not speak, and at school we have to stand and tell lies to the children.
HENRIK IBSEN

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!
