Quotes4

  • Petra Stockmann: This book! It's absolutely against everything the people believe.
  • Hovstad: Oh, no. It isn't that bad, is it?
  • Petra Stockmann: It says that if you're good, there's a supernatural force that'll make sure you end up happy. And if you're bad, you'll be punished! Now since when does the world work that way?
  • Hovstad: You have to give people a say in governing their society. That's what brings out ability, intelligence, self-respect in people.
  • Aslaksen: May we print it then?
  • Dr. Thomas Stockmann: Yes, print it. Print it!
  • Hovstad: I'll have it ready for tomorrow's edition.
  • Hovstad: Isn't it time we pump some guts into these well-meaning little men? Though all their liberal talk, they still idolize authority.
