" "Så usigelig fattig kan en sjel da gå
tilbake til intet i det tåkete grå.
Du deilige jord, vær ikke vred
at jeg trampet ditt gress til ingen nytte.
Du deilige sol, du har sløset med
dine lysende stenk i en folketom hytte.
Der satt ingen der inne å varme og stemme; -
eieren, sier de, var aldri hjemme.
Deilige sol og deilige jord,
I var dumme at I bar og lyste for min mor.
Ånden er karrig og naturen ødsel.
Det er dyrt å bøte med livet for sin fødsel. -
Jeg vil oppad, høyt, på den bratteste tinde;
jeg vil ennu engang se solen rinne,
stirre meg trett på det lovede land,
se å få snedyngen over meg kavet;
de kan skrive derover «her er ingen begravet»;
og bakefter - siden - ! La det gå som det kan.

Additional quotes by Henrik Ibsen
I am half inclined to think we are all ghosts…it is not only what we have inherited from our fathers and mothers that exists again in us, but all sorts of old dead ideas and all kinds of old dead beliefs and things of that kind. They are not actually alive in us; but there they are dormant all the same, and we can never be rid of them. Whenever I take up a newspaper and read it, I fancy I see ghosts creeping between the lines. There must be ghosts all over the world. They must be as countless as the grains of the sands, it seems to me. And we are so miserably afraid of the light, all of us.

I believe that before anything else I'm a human being — just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them.
