I divide my time as follows: half the time I sleep, the other half I dream. I never dream when I sleep, for that would be a pity, for sleeping is the highest accomplishment of genius.

More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness I have walked myself into my best thoughts.
Soren Kierkegaard
Don't forget to love yourself.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is not a gain that guilt should be wholly forgotten. On the contrary, it is loss and perdition. But it is a gain to win an inner intensity of heart through a deeper and deeper inner sorrowing over guilt.
Soren Kierkegaard
The resolving of the ethical, is freedom the negative resolution also has this, but the freedom, blank and bare, is as if tongue-tied, hard to express, and generally has something hard in its nature. Falling in love, however, promptly sets it to music, even if this composition contains a very difficult passage.
Soren Kierkegaard
To the frivolous Christianity is certainly not glad tidings, for it wishes first of all to make them serious.
Soren Kierkegaard
In my great melancholy, I loved life, for I love my melancholy.
Soren Kierkegaard
Language has time as its element all other media have space as their element.
Soren Kierkegaard
If a man wants to set up as an innkeeper and he does not succeed, it is not comic. If, on the contrary, a girl asks to be allowed to set up as a prostitute and she fails, as sometimes happens, it is comic.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more people who believe something, the more apt it is to be wrong. The person who's right often has to stand alone.
Soren Kierkegaard
The question of immortality is of its nature not a scholarly question. It is a question welling up from the interior which the subject must put to itself as it becomes conscious of itself.
Soren Kierkegaard
The reign of the tyrant ends with his death, and the reign of the martyr starts with it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Be that self which one truly is.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities. A possibility is a hint from God. One must follow it.
Soren Kierkegaard
to have faith is precisely to lose one's mind so as to win God.
Soren Kierkegaard
Talent warms-up the given (as they say in cookery) and makes it apparent genius brings something new. But our time lets talent pass for genius. They want to abolish the genius, deify the genius, and let talent forge ahead.
Soren Kierkegaard
The object of (Christian) faith is not the teaching but the Teacher.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more a person limits himself, the more resourceful he becomes.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo the more he can remember, the more divine his life becomes.
Soren Kierkegaard
Shows itself in the notion that what may be objectively true may in the mouth of certain people become false.
Soren Kierkegaard
Busyness, keeping up with others, hustling hither and yon, makes it almost impossible for an individual to form a heart.
Soren Kierkegaard
