Henrik Ibsen

Do you know what we are those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.

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!

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!

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

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

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