“Do not use that foreign word "ideals." We have that excellent native word "lies."”
Henrik Ibsen
“The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population the intelligent ones or the fool”
“One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, "I have it," merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.”
“Rob the average man of his life-illusion and you rob him also of his happiness”
“The worst enemy of truth and freedom in our society is the compact majority”
“The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone”
“It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals; let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.”
