Additional quotes by Henrik Ibsen

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.

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.

If you take the life lie from an average man, you take away his happiness as well.

Rob the average man of his life-illusion, and you rob him of his happiness at the same stroke. - Henrik Ibsen
