Henrik Ibsen
“Results for "It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals; let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians”
Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen
“What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?”
Henrik Ibsen

Eugene O'Neill
“The fog was where I wanted to be. Halfway down the path you can’t see this house. You’d never know it was here. Or any of the other places down the avenue. I couldn’t see but a few feet ahead. I didn’t meet a soul. Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is. That’s what I wanted—to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. Out beyond the harbor, where the road runs along the beach, I even lost the feeling of being on land. The fog and the sea seemed part of each other. It was like walking on the bottom of the sea. As if I had drowned long ago. As if I was the ghost belonging to the fog, and the fog was the ghost of the sea. It felt damned peaceful to be nothing more than a ghost within a ghost.”
Eugene O'Neill, Long Day’s Journey into Night

Ludwig van Beethoven
“Music is ... A higher revelation than all Wisdom & Philosophy”
Ludwig van Beethoven

Henrik Ibsen
“It's a liberation to know that an act of spontaneous courage is yet possible in this world. An act that has something of unconditional beauty.”
Henrik Ibsen, Hedda Gabler
