Quote by August Strindberg: “My soul is a battlefield where God and Devil fight.”

Strindberg vividly describes his inner turmoil, portraying his psyche as a site of intense moral and spiritual conflict. He felt constantly torn between opposing forces of good and evil within himself.

From his autobiographical novel 'Inferno,' written during a period of intense mental and spiritual crisis for Strindberg. This period, characterized by paranoia and mystic experiences, profoundly shaped his later Symbolist and Expressionist works.

Swedish playwright, novelist, and painter considered one of the founders of modern drama. His plays The Father, Miss Julie, and A Dream Play broke with theatrical convention and pioneered expressionism, influencing Eugene O'Neill, Samuel Beckett, and countless others.
