Helmer [walking up and down]...

Helmer
[walking up and down]. He had so grown into our lives. I can‘t think of him as having gone out of them. He, with his sufferings and his loneliness, was like a cloudy background to our sunlit happiness. Well, perhaps it is best so. For him, anyway.
[Standing still.] And perhaps for us too, Nora. We two are thrown quite upon each other now. [Puts his arms round her.] My darling wife, I don‘t feel as if I could hold you tight enough. Do you know, Nora, I have often wished that you might be threatened by some great danger, so that I might risk my life‘s blood, and everything, for your sake. - P98

Helmer.
Now you have destroyed all my happiness.
You have ruined all my future.
It is horrible to think of!
I am in the power of an unscrupulous man; he can do what he likes with me, ask anything he likes of me, give me any orders he pleases--I dare not refuse.
And I must sink to such miserable depths because of a thoughtless woman! - P100

‘From this moment happiness is not the question; all that concerns us is to save the remains, the fragments, the appearance--’(Helmer, 101p) - P101

Helmer.
You have loved me as a wife ought to love her husband.
Only you had not sufficient knowledge to judge of the means you used.
But do you suppose you are any the less dear to me, because you don‘t understand how to act on your own responsibility?
No, no; only lean on me; I will advise you and direct you.
I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes.
You must not think anymore about the hard things I said in my first moment of consternation, when I thought everything was going to overwhelm me.
I have forgiven you, Nora; I swear to you I have forgiven you. - P103

Krogstad. Under the ice, per...

Krogstad.
Under the ice, perhaps? Down into the cold, coal-black water? And then, in the spring, to float up to the surface, all horrible and unrecognisable, with your hair fallen out-- - P73

Krogstad
[more gently]. When I lost you, it was as if all the solid ground went from under my feet. Look at me now--I am a shipwrecked man clinging to a bit of wreckage. - P84

Mrs Linde.
I have learned to act prudently. Life, and hard, bitter necessity have taught me that. - P84

Mrs Linde.
In my first moment of fright, it was. But twenty-four hours have elapsed since then, and in that time I have witnessed incredible things in this house. Helmer must know all about it. This unhappy secret must be disclosed; they must have a complete understanding between them, which is impossible with all this concealment and falsehood going on. - P87

Helmer. Of course!--if only ...

Helmer.
Of course!--if only this obstinate little person can get her way! Do you suppose I am going to make myself ridiculous before my whole staff, to let people think that I am a man to be swayed by all sorts of outside influence? I should very soon feel the consequences of it, I can tell you! And besides, there is one thing that makes it quite impossible for me to have Krogstad in the Bank as long as I am manager. - P58

Helmer.
My dear Nora, I can forgive the anxiety you are in, although really it is an insult to me. It is, indeed. Isn‘t it an insult to think that I should be afraid of a starving quill-driver‘s vengeance? But I forgive you nevertheless, because it is such eloquent witness to your great love for me. [Takes her in his arms.] And that is as it should be, my own darling Nora. Come what will, you may be sure I shall have both courage and strength if they be needed. You will see I am man enough to take everything upon myself. - P60

Rank.
Who else? It is no use lying to one‘s self. I am the most wretched of all my patients, Mrs Helmer. Lately I have been taking stock of my internal economy. Bankrupt! Probably within a month I shall lie rotting in the churchyard. - P61

Helmer‘s refined nature gives him an unconquerable disgust at everything that is ugly; I won‘t have him in my sick-room.(Dr. Rank, 62p) - P62

Rank.
Oh, it‘s a mere laughing matter, the whole thing. My poor innocent spine has to suffer for my father‘s youthful amusements. - P62

Rank.
To have loved you as much as anyone else does? Was that horrid? - P66

Rank.
It is just that, that put me on the wrong track. You are a riddle to me. I have often thought that you would almost as soon be in my company as in Helmer‘s. - P68

Nora.
Yes--you see there are some people one loves best, and others whom one would almost always rather have as companions. - P68

Nora
[jumping up and going to him].
Oh, dear, nice Doctor Rank, I never meant that at all. But surely you can understand that being with Torvald is a little like being with papa-- - P68

Nora. I must make an end of ...

Nora.
I must make an end of it with the other one, and that will be behind his back too. I must make an end of it with him. - P54

Helmer. Nora! [Goes up to he...

Helmer.
Nora! [Goes up to her and takes her playfully by the ear.] The same little featherhead! Suppose, now, that I borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the Christmas week, and then on New Year‘s Eve a slate fell on my head and killed me, and-- - P6

Helmer.
You can‘t deny it, my dear little Nora. [Puts his arm round her waist.] It‘s a sweet little spendthrift, but she uses up a deal of money. One would hardly believe how expensive such little persons are! - P8

Helmer.
You are an odd little soul. Very like your father. You always find some new way of wheedling money out of me, and, as soon as you have got it, it seems to melt in your hands. You never know where it has gone. Still, one must take you as you are. It is in the blood; for indeed it is true that you can inherit these things, Nora. - P9

Helmer
[wagging his finger at her]. Hasn‘t Miss Sweet Tooth been breaking rules in town today?

Helmer.
Of course you couldn‘t, poor little girl. You had the best of intentions to please us all, and that‘s the main thing. But it is a good thing that our hard times are over. - P11

Rank.
Yes, he has some sort of appointment there. [To Mrs Linde.] I don‘t know whether you find also in your part of the world that there are certain people who go zealously snuffing about to smell out moral corruption, and, as soon as they have found some, put the person concerned into some lucrative position where they can keep their eye on him. Healthy natures are left out in the cold. - P27

Rank
[shrugging his shoulders]. Yes, there you are. That is the sentiment that is turning Society into a sick-house. - P27

Helmer.
Because such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of a home. Each breath the children take in such a house is full of the germs of evil. - P45
