More quotes by 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
Religion must be a punishment, because nobody gets religion who does not have a bad conscience.
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
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

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
Some people seem to be born to suffer.
August Strindberg
Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real horror vacuum.
August Strindberg
I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.
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
When people refuse to speak out for too long, it's like water that's stagnant and starts to rot!
August Strindberg
In the old days, one married a wife now one forms a company with a female partner, or moves in to live with a friend. And then one seduces the partner, or defiles the friend.
August Strindberg
The world, life and human beings are only an illusion, a phantom, a dream image.
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 risky to take anything on good faith where a woman is concerned.
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
The further from one another, the nearer one can be.
August Strindberg
I dream, therefore I exist.
