Famous quotes containing the word august:

    “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 vacui.””
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “I dream, therefore I exist.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
