This feeling of power, it’s happiness to sit in a cottage by the Danube among six women who think I’m semi-idiot, and to know that in Paris, the headquarters of intelligence, 500 people are sitting dead-quiet in the auditorium and are foolish enough to expose their brains to my powers of suggestion. Some revolt! But many will go away with my spores in their gray matter. They will go home pregnant with the seed of my soul, and they will breed my brood.
August Strindberg, letter of July 14, 1894
