When I free my body from its clothes, from all their buttons, belts, and laces, it seems to me that my soul takes a deeper, freer breath. – 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
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. – August Strindberg
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
