What Mr. Loveday said regarding the qualifications and how long a man would have to wait until he was qualified to become a full burgher was absolutely correct. It could not be contradicted. The law was clear on that point.
He had 'too much. They were the persons, the millionaires side by side with mining workers whom Mr. Jeppe spoke of, but where did they find these people side by side? Nowhere! No, he would not grant an extension of the franchise.
Sickness and death and halleluiah! We live, and we live, I tell you, Brother Jeppe and we live in order to live! But, good heavens! all the poor things that aren't born yet!"
Baker Jorgen turned his thick body. "Here we go about imagining a whole lot of things; but what if it's all just lies?"

"It rules over all life, and science has discovered that all strength and force come from the sun. When it falls into the sea and cools, then the whole world will become a lump of ice."
