More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
The wisdom of the years is confusing. Only the wisdom of eternity is edifying.
Soren Kierkegaard
To love another person is to help them love God.
Soren Kierkegaard
Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.
Soren Kierkegaard
Theology sits rouged at the window and courts philosophy's favor, offering to sell her charms to it.
Soren Kierkegaard
If a man cannot forget, he will never amount to much.
Soren Kierkegaard
The most terrible fight is not when there is one opinion against another, the most terrible is when two men say the same thing -- and fight about the interpretation, and this interpretation involves a difference of quality.
Soren Kierkegaard
I do not lack the courage to think a thought whole.
Soren Kierkegaard
Choose to be who you are. . . The individual who would become a person must at some point take over his entire being - must, that is, choose herself.
Soren Kierkegaard
Fate, then, is the nothing of anxiety.
Soren Kierkegaard
However much one generation learns from another, it can never learn from its predecessor the genuinely human factor. In this respect every generation begins afresh. Thus no generation has learned from another how to love, no generation can begin other than at the beginning.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is not where we breathe, but where we Love, that we live.
Soren Kierkegaard
During the first period of our lives the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much. By not risking at first one turns aside and serves trivialities in the second case, by risking too much, one turns aside to the fantastic and perhaps to presumption.
Soren Kierkegaard
Talent warms-up the given (as they say in cookery) and makes it apparent genius brings something new. But our time lets talent pass for genius. They want to abolish the genius, deify the genius, and let talent forge ahead.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities. A possibility is a hint from God. One must follow it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Boredom rests upon the nothingness that winds its way through existence its giddiness, like that which comes from gazing down into an infinite abyss, is infinite.
Soren Kierkegaard
Pleasure disappoints possibility never.
Soren Kierkegaard
If you think you understand, it isn't God.
Soren Kierkegaard
Worldly wisdom thinks that love is a relationship between man and man. Christianity teaches that love is a relationship between man-God-man, that is, that God is the middle term.
Soren Kierkegaard
Genius never desires what does not exist.
Soren Kierkegaard
Love believes all things and yet is never deceived.
Soren Kierkegaard
