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
The further from one another, the nearer one can be.
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.
August Strindberg
When is revolution legal? When it succeeds!
