More quotes by August Strindberg
It's risky to take anything on good faith where a woman is concerned.
August Strindberg
I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.
August Strindberg
Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.
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
Some people seem to be born to suffer.
August Strindberg
[My characters are] conglomerations of past and present stages of civilization, bits from books and newspapers, scraps of humanity, rags and tatters of fine clothing, patched together as is the human soul
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
Silence hides nothing. Words conceal.
August Strindberg
By attempting the impossible one can attain the highest level of the possible.
August Strindberg
When people refuse to speak out for too long, it's like water that's stagnant and starts to rot!
August Strindberg
When is revolution legal? When it succeeds!
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
I dream, therefore I exist.
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
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
It's wonderful how, the moment you talk about God and love, your voice becomes hard, and your eyes fill with hatred. No, Margret, you certainly haven't the true faith.
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
No matter how far we travel, the memories will follow in the baggage car.
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
Not everyone is capable of madness and of those lucky enough to be capable, not many have the courage for it.
August Strindberg
