The Wild Duck/John Gabriel Borkman Quotes

“Tar de livsløgnen fra et gjennomsnittsmenneske, så tar du lykken ifra ham med det samme”
― Henrik Ibsen, The Wild Duck/John Gabriel Borkman

“oh, that was a terrible time for me, I can tell you. I kept the blinds drawn down over both my windows. When I peeped out, I saw the sun shining as if nothing had happened. I could not understand it. I saw people going along the street, laughing and talking about indifferent things. I could not understand it. It seemed to me that the whole of existence must be at a standstill -- as if under an eclipse.”
― Henrik Ibsen, The Wild Duck/John Gabriel Borkman
