Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.

There is something so indescribably sweet and satisfying in the knowledge that a husband or wife has forgiven the other freely, and from the heart.

In your power, all the same. Subject to your will and your demands. No longer free! No! That's a thought I'll never endure! Never.

Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.

NORA: I must stand on my own two feet if I'm to get to know myself and the world outside. That's why I can't stay here with you any longer.

Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it... it's just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.

Happiness is worth a daring deed; we are both free if we but will it, and then the game is won.
