More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
When all combine in every way to make everything easier, people will want difficulty. I conceived it as my task to make difficulties everywhere.
Soren Kierkegaard
The presence of irony does not necessarily mean that the earnestness is excluded. Only assistant professors assume that.
Soren Kierkegaard
A genius may perhaps be a century ahead of his age and hence stands there as a paradox, but in the end, the race will assimilate what was once a paradox, so it is no longer paradoxical.
Soren Kierkegaard
The Bible is God's love letter to us
Soren Kierkegaard
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.
Soren Kierkegaard
