More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Men are not on such intimate terms with the sublime that they really can believe in it
Soren Kierkegaard
It is the duty of the human understanding to understand that there are things which it cannot understand.
Soren Kierkegaard
My sorrow is my castle.
Soren Kierkegaard
Dread is a womanish debility in which freedom swoons. Psychologically speaking, the fall into sin always occurs in impotence. But dread is at the same time the most egotistic thing.
Soren Kierkegaard
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
Reflection is not the evil but a reflective condition and the deadlock which it involves, by transforming the capacity for action into a means of escape from action, is both corrupt and dangerous, and leads in the end to a retrograde movement.
Soren Kierkegaard
Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.
Soren Kierkegaard
Where am I? Who am I? How did I come to be here? What is this thing called the world?
Soren Kierkegaard
Just as in the great moment of resignation one does not mediate but chooses, now the task is to gain proficiency in repeating the impassioned choice and, existing, to express it in existence.
Soren Kierkegaard
Backwards understood be only can but, forwards lived be must life.
Soren Kierkegaard
People have an idea that the preacher is an actor on a stage and they are the critics, blaming or praising him. What they don't know is that they are the actors on the stage he (the preacher) is merely the prompter standing in the wings, reminding them of their lost lines.
Soren Kierkegaard
In a theatre it happened that a fire started off stage. The clown came out to tell the audience. They thought it was a joke and applauded. He told them again, and they became still more hilarious. This is the way, I suppose, that the world will be destroyed-amid the universal hilarity of wits and wags who think it is all a joke.
Soren Kierkegaard
God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
Soren Kierkegaard
Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor.
Soren Kierkegaard
. . .the larger the crowd, the more probable that that which it praises is folly, and the more improbable that it is truth and the most improbable of all that it is any eternal truth.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed. The result may be the same, but you won't be. We always grow more through defeats than victories.
Soren Kierkegaard
What labels me, negates me.
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 task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.
Soren Kierkegaard
Christianity demands the crucifixion of the intellect.
Soren Kierkegaard
