More quotes by August Strindberg

August Strindberg
The further from one another, the nearer one can be.
August Strindberg
Because in the midst of happiness there is always a seed of unhappiness it consumes itself like fire--it can't burn forever, sooner or later it must die and this presentiment of the end destroys my happiness when it is at is height.
August Strindberg
I dream, therefore I exist.
August Strindberg
When is revolution legal? When it succeeds!
August Strindberg
Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
August Strindberg
Family . . . the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.
August Strindberg
Oh, I have loved him too much to feel no hate for him.
August Strindberg
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
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.
