Soren Kierkegaard
At the bottom of enmity between strangers lies indifference.
Soren Kierkegaard
Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.
Soren Kierkegaard
For without risk there is no faith, and the greater the risk, the greater the faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
