More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
The deepest form of despair is to choose to be another than himself.
Soren Kierkegaard
Backwards understood be only can but, forwards lived be must life.
Soren Kierkegaard
The God that can be named is not God.
Soren Kierkegaard
It was not to save a nation that Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac, nor to appease angry gods... Then why does Abraham do it? For God's sake... He does it for the sake of God because God demands proof of his faith... He was not justified by being virtuous, but by being an individual submitted to God in faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
The paradox in Christian truth is invariably due to the fact that it is the truth that exists for God. The standard of measure and the end is superhuman and there is only one relationship possible: faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
If a man wants to set up as an innkeeper and he does not succeed, it is not comic. If, on the contrary, a girl asks to be allowed to set up as a prostitute and she fails, as sometimes happens, it is comic.
Soren Kierkegaard
I go fishing for a thousand monsters in the depths of my own self
Soren Kierkegaard
I have, I believe, the courage to doubt everything I have, I believe, the courage to fight against everything but I do not have the courage to acknowledge anything, the courage to possess, to own anything.
Soren Kierkegaard
Men are not on such intimate terms with the sublime that they really can believe in it
Soren Kierkegaard
Why I so much prefer autumn to spring is that in the autumn one looks at heaven--in the spring at the earth.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is the duty of the human understanding to understand that there are things which it cannot understand.
Soren Kierkegaard
Death induces the sensual person to say: Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we shall die - but this is sensuality's cowardly lust for life, that contemptible order of things where one lives in order to eat and drink instead of eating and drinking in order to live.
Soren Kierkegaard
I divide my time as follows: half the time I sleep, the other half I dream. I never dream when I sleep, for that would be a pity, for sleeping is the highest accomplishment of genius.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
Soren Kierkegaard
On the whole, the longing for solitude is a sign that there still is spirit in a person and is a measure of what spirit there is.
Soren Kierkegaard
Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth.
Soren Kierkegaard
to have faith is precisely to lose one's mind so as to win God.
Soren Kierkegaard
Repetition is the reality and the seriousness of life.
Soren Kierkegaard
I do not lack the courage to think a thought whole.
Soren Kierkegaard
The self-assured believer is a greater sinner in the eyes of God than the troubled disbeliever.
Soren Kierkegaard
