From The Father by August Strindberg

male · dramatic · 43 sec

Your misfortune touches me deeply, and I promise you to see what can be done. I pity you with all my heart, and I beg you to trust me completely. But after what I have heard I must ask you to avoid suggesting any ideas that might make a deep impression on the patient, for in a weak brain they develop rapidly and quickly turn to monomania or fixed ideas. (LAURA: You mean to avoid arousing suspicions?) Exactly. One can make the insane believe anything, just because they are receptive to everything.
