August Strindberg

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but the stage is mightier than both.

Envy is the sincerest form of flattery.

Family is the cradle of lies.

Wisdom comes with age, but so does foolishness.

Theater is life with the boring parts cut out.

Politics is the art of the possible.

Love is blind, but marriage restores sight.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell.

A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.

Art for art's sake is a lie.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but illusion.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination.

Revenge is a dish best served cold – on stage.

Society is a masked ball where everyone hides their true face.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Theater is the art of making the invisible visible.

Peace is the virtue of cowards.

My last words? The struggle continues.
