More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
Comparison is the most dangerous acquaintance love can make.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
The absurd . . . the fact that with God all things are possible. The absurd is not one of the factors which can be discriminated within the proper compass of the understanding: it is not identical with the improbable, the unexpected, the unforeseen.
Soren Kierkegaard
The truth is a trap: you cannot get it without it getting you you cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you.
Soren Kierkegaard
The commandment is that you shall love, but when you understand life and yourself, then it is as if you should not need to be commanded, because to love human beings is still the only thing worth living for without this life you really do not live.
Soren Kierkegaard
There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
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
The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.
Soren Kierkegaard
Jurists say that a capital crime submerges all lesser crimes and so it is with faith. Its absurdity makes all petty difficultiesvanish.
Soren Kierkegaard
