More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
Soren Kierkegaard
The most common despair is...not choosing, or willing, to be oneself...[but] the deepest form of despair is to choose to be another than oneself.
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

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
...the reason for [this age's] anxiety and unrest is because in one direction, 'truth' increases in scope and quantity - via science and technology - while in the other, certainty and confidence steadily decline. Our age is a master in developing truths while being wholly indifferent to certitude. It lacks confidence in the good.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.
Soren Kierkegaard
Leap of faith – yes, but only after reflection
Soren Kierkegaard
Happiness is the greatest hiding place for despair.
Soren Kierkegaard
All essential knowledge relates to existence, or only such knowledge as has an essential relationship to existence is essential knowledge.
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
It doesn't occur to me at this moment to say more another time, perhaps tomorrow, I may have more to say, but always the same thing and about the same, for only gypsies, robber gangs and swindlers follow the adage that where a person has once been he is never to go again.
Soren Kierkegaard
Christianity demands the crucifixion of the intellect.
