Henrik Ibsen quotes about
Emperor? You old fake! / You're no Emperor. You're just an onion. / Now then, little Peer, I'm going to peel you.
Some day, youth will come here and thunder on my door, and force its way in to me.
I can see him. With vine leaves in his hair.
A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
