More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
The deepest form of despair is to choose to be another than himself.
Soren Kierkegaard
The wisdom of the years is confusing. Only the wisdom of eternity is edifying.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more men believe an idea to be true the greater the likelihood that the idea is mistaken. Those who are right usually stand alone.
Soren Kierkegaard
...the person who surrenders absolutely to God, with no reservations, is absolutely safe. From this safe hiding-place he can see the devil , but the devil cannot see him.
