More quotes by 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
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
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

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

August Strindberg

August Strindberg
Religion must be a punishment, because nobody gets religion who does not have a bad conscience.
August Strindberg

August Strindberg
Oh, I have loved him too much to feel no hate for him.
August Strindberg
No matter how far we travel, the memories will follow in the baggage car.
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
It is terribly hard to be married, harder than anything. I think one has to be an angel.
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
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
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.
