More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
To be a woman is something so strange, so confusing and so complicated that only a woman could put up with it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Silence is the demon's trap, and the more one is silenced, the more terrible the demon but silence is also the divinity's mutual understanding with the single individual.
Soren Kierkegaard
Maturity consists in the discovery that there comes a critical moment where everything is reversed, after which the point becomes to understand more and more that there is something which cannot be understood.
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 most common form of despair is not being who you are.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
The minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
The crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.
Soren Kierkegaard
No, I won't leave the world--I'll enter a lunatic asylum and see if the profundity of insanity reveals to me the riddles of life. Idiot, why didn't I do that long ago, why has it taken me so long to understand what it means when the Indians honour the insane, step aside for them? Yes, a lunatic asylum--don't you think I may end up there?
Soren Kierkegaard
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.
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
To venture causes anxiety. Not to venture is to lose oneself.
Soren Kierkegaard
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
Soren Kierkegaard
There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.
Soren Kierkegaard
I have only one friend, and that is echo. Why is it my friend? Because I love my sorrow, and echo does not take it away from me. I have only one confidant, and that is the silence of night. Why is it my confidant? Because it remains silent.
Soren Kierkegaard
May new sufferings torment your soul.
