August Strindberg
Silence hides nothing. Words conceal.
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
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
