It's risky to take anything on good faith where a woman is concerned.
August Strindberg
When people refuse to speak out for too long, it's like water that's stagnant and starts to rot!
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
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 world, life and human beings are only an illusion, a phantom, a dream image.
August Strindberg
Oh, I have loved him too much to feel no hate for him.

August Strindberg
Silence hides nothing. Words conceal.
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
I dream, therefore I exist.
August Strindberg
Sometimes not seeing things can be a blessing.
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

August Strindberg

August Strindberg
By attempting the impossible one can attain the highest level of the possible.
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
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
The further from one another, the nearer one can be.
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 hood-winked husband shows his anger, and the word jealous is flung in his face. Jealous husband equals betrayed husband. And there are women who look upon jealousy as synonymous with impotence, so that the betrayed husband can only shut his eyes, powerless in the face of such accusations.
August Strindberg
