With the daguerreotype, everyone will be able to have their portrait taken . . . and at the same time everything is being done to make us all look exactly the same.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard

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
The minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion.
Soren Kierkegaard
Genius never desires what does not exist.
Soren Kierkegaard
Jurists say that a capital crime submerges all lesser crimes and so it is with faith. Its absurdity makes all petty difficultiesvanish.
