Henrik Ibsen

“The majority never has right on its side. Never I say! That is one of the social lies that a free, thinking man is bound to rebel against. Who makes up the majority in any given country? Is it the wise men or the fools? I think we must agree that the fools are in a terrible overwhelming majority, all the wide world over. But, damn it, it can surely never be right that the stupid should rule over the clever! (An Enemy of the People, act 4)”

Henrik Ibsen, Oxford Ibsen Vol 6: An Enemy of the People / The Wild Duck / Rosmersholm
