August Strindberg
I dream, therefore I exist.
August Strindberg
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
August Strindberg

August Strindberg
Some people have accused my tragedy of being too sad, as though one desired a merry tragedy. People clamor for Enjoyment as though Enjoyment consisted in being foolish. I find enjoyment in the powerful and terrible struggles of life and the capability of experiencing something, of learning something, gives me pleasure.
August Strindberg
God preserve us from writers who regurgitate what they have learnt from books! It is people's secrets we want to know - it is the natural history of the human heart that we have been trying to put down for a thousand years and everyone must and can leave their contribution.
August Strindberg
The world, life and human beings are only an illusion, a phantom, a dream image.
August Strindberg
Some people seem to be born to suffer.
August Strindberg
When people refuse to speak out for too long, it's like water that's stagnant and starts to rot!
August Strindberg
Life is not so idiotically mathematical that only the big eat the small it is just as common for a bee to kill a lion or at least to drive it mad.
August Strindberg
Any programming language is at its best before it is implemented and used. Anything is possible, anything can happen. On a flimsy ground of reality, imagination spins marvelous patterns.
