A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
August Strindberg
Family... the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.
August Strindberg

August Strindberg

August Strindberg
That is the thankless position of the father in the family - the provider for all, and the enemy of all.
August Strindberg
