Soren Kierkegaard
The great trick with a woman is to get rid of her while she think's she's rid of you.
Soren Kierkegaard
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
Soren Kierkegaard
Truth is not introduced into the individual from without, but was within him all the time.

I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.
Soren Kierkegaard
A poet is not an apostle he drives out devils only by the power of the devil.
Soren Kierkegaard
Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend love that has grown cold can kindle.
