Soren Kierkegaard
The wisdom of the years is confusing. Only the wisdom of eternity is edifying.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is not a gain that guilt should be wholly forgotten. On the contrary, it is loss and perdition. But it is a gain to win an inner intensity of heart through a deeper and deeper inner sorrowing over guilt.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
Genius never desires what does not exist.
Soren Kierkegaard
