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
Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more a person limits himself, the more resourceful he becomes.
Soren Kierkegaard
When you read God's Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, It is talking to me, and about me.
