“Oh yes, right—right. What is the use of having right on your side if you have not got might?”

“Oh, yes--you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side--unfortunately; but right it has not.”

“I must make up my mind which is right – society or I.”

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

“HELMER: But this is disgraceful. Is this the way you neglect your most sacred duties?NORA: What do you consider is my most sacred duty?HELMER: Do I have to tell you that? Isn't it your duty to your husband and children?NORA: I have another duty, just as sacred.HELMER: You can't have. What duty do you mean?NORA: My duty to myself.”

“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 fools?”

“Nora: It's true Torvald. When I lived at home with Papa, he used to tell me his opinion about everything, and so I had the same opinion. If I thought differently, I had to hide it from him, or he wouldn't have liked it. He called me his little doll, and he used to play with me just as I played with my dolls. Then I came to live in your house -Helmer: That's no way to talk about our marriage!Nora [undisturbed]: I mean when I passed out of Papa's hands into yours. You arranged everything to suit your own tastes, and so I came to have the same tastes as yours.. or I pretended to. I'm not quite sure which.. perhaps it was a bit of both -- sometimes one and sometimes the other. Now that I come to look at it, I've lived here like a pauper -- simply from hand to mouth. I've lived by performing tricks for you, Torvald. That was how you wanted it. You and Papa have committed a grievous sin against me: it's your fault that I've made nothing of my life.”
