Henrik Ibsen

A minority may be right, and a majority is always wrong.

The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.

The pillars of truth and the pillars of freedom - they are the pillars of society.

The worst enemy of truth and freedom in our society is the compact majority.

The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom - these are the pillars of society.

Never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.

Really to sin you have to be serious about it.

One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, 'I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.

Marriage! Nothing else demands so much of a man.

Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it... it's just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.

Home life ceases to be free and beautiful as soon as it is founded on borrowing and debt.

The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
