What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces … trivialities. But here they won't tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are … those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society's tools, neither more nor less. by Henrik Ibsen
