quote of the day, history, politics
"I am a socialist, a nihilist, a republican*, anything that is anti-reactionary! I want to turn everything upside down to see what lies beneath; I believe we are so webbed, so horribly regimented, that no spring-cleaning is possible, everything must be burned, blown to bits, and then we can start afresh." -- August Strindberg
(*obviously, that term had a very different meaning for a 19th-century Swedish playwright...)
