They are the brave men that fell in fight, the strong women that did not drag out their lives tamely, like thee and me; they sweep through the storm-night on their black horses, with jangling bells! Ha, Dagny! think of riding the last ride on so rare a steed! Henrik Ibsen

I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right. Henrik Ibsen
