More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
However much one generation learns from another, it can never learn from its predecessor the genuinely human factor. In this respect every generation begins afresh. Thus no generation has learned from another how to love, no generation can begin other than at the beginning.
Soren Kierkegaard
Hope is a passion for the possible.
Soren Kierkegaard
The thing that cowardice fears most is decision
Soren Kierkegaard
The presence of irony does not necessarily mean that the earnestness is excluded. Only assistant professors assume that.
Soren Kierkegaard
The most common form of despair is not being who you are.
Soren Kierkegaard
Do it or don't do it - you will regret both.
Soren Kierkegaard
... all comparisons injure.
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
All moral elevation consists first and foremost of being weaned from the momentary.
Soren Kierkegaard
If I had a humble spirit in my service who, when I asked for a glass of water, brought me the world's costliest wines blended in a chalice, I should dismiss him, in order to teach him that my pleasure consists, not in what I enjoy, but in having my own way.
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
Take it and return it: the kiss of love.
Soren Kierkegaard
You train yourself in the art of being mysterious to everyone. My dear friend! What if there were no one, who cared about guessing your riddle, what pleasure would you then take in it?
Soren Kierkegaard
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
Soren Kierkegaard
Choose to be who you are. . . The individual who would become a person must at some point take over his entire being - must, that is, choose herself.
Soren Kierkegaard
The unhappy person is never present to themself because they always live in the past or the future.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is not where we breathe, but where we Love, that we live.
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
During the first period of our lives the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much. By not risking at first one turns aside and serves trivialities in the second case, by risking too much, one turns aside to the fantastic and perhaps to presumption.
Soren Kierkegaard
What labels me, negates me.
