I must make up my mind which is right – society or I. - Henrik Ibsen

But our home's been nothing but a playpen. I've been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa's doll-child. And in turn the children have been my dolls. I thought it fun when you played with me, just as they thought it fun when I played with them. That's been our marriage, Torvald.

it was a tremendous pleasure to sit there working and earning money. It was like being a man.

Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
