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

August Strindberg

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
Silence hides nothing. Words conceal.
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
Some people seem to be born to suffer.
August Strindberg
When is revolution legal? When it succeeds!
August Strindberg
It is terribly hard to be married, harder than anything. I think one has to be an angel.
August Strindberg
