Famous quotes containing the words august and/or company:
“I dream, therefore I exist.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
“I shall never send for a priest or recite an Act of Contrition in my last moments. I do not mind if I lose my soul for all eternity. If the kind of God exists Who would damn me for not working out a deal with Him, then that is unfortunate. I should not care to spend eternity in the company of such a person.”
