Soren Kierkegaard
For the sadness in legitimate humour consists in the fact that honestly and without deceit it reflects in a purely human way upon what it is to be a child.
Soren Kierkegaard
Spirit is the third, yet in such a way that one can speak of a synthesis only when the spirit is posited.
Soren Kierkegaard
