Soren Kierkegaard
The wisdom of the years is confusing. Only the wisdom of eternity is edifying.
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
What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.
Soren Kierkegaard
Take it and return it: the kiss of love.
Soren Kierkegaard
