More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Once you label me you negate me.
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
It is intelligent to ask two questions: (1) Is it possible? (2) Can I do it?. But it is unintelligent to ask these questions: (1) Is it real? (2) Has my neighbor done it?
Soren Kierkegaard
How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.
Soren Kierkegaard
Pleasure disappoints possibility never.
Soren Kierkegaard
God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
Soren Kierkegaard
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.
Soren Kierkegaard
Where am I? Who am I? How did I come to be here? What is this thing called the world?
Soren Kierkegaard
The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.
Soren Kierkegaard
To be lost in spiritlessness is the most terrible thing of all.
Soren Kierkegaard
Christendom has done away with Christianity without being quite aware of it.
Soren Kierkegaard
May new sufferings torment your soul.
Soren Kierkegaard
I go fishing for a thousand monsters in the depths of my own self
Soren Kierkegaard
Who am I? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted?
Soren Kierkegaard
All moral elevation consists first and foremost of being weaned from the momentary.
Soren Kierkegaard
The person who praises God is on the tracks of justice.
Soren Kierkegaard
Certainty... lurks at the door of faith and threatens to devour it.
Soren Kierkegaard
One should be an enigma not just to others but to oneself too. I study myself. When I'm tired of that I light a cigar to pass the time, and think: God only knows what the good Lord really meant with me, or what He meant to make of me.
Soren Kierkegaard
It was not to save a nation that Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac, nor to appease angry gods... Then why does Abraham do it? For God's sake... He does it for the sake of God because God demands proof of his faith... He was not justified by being virtuous, but by being an individual submitted to God in faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
I do not lack the courage to think a thought whole.
