Soren Kierkegaard
Busyness, keeping up with others, hustling hither and yon, makes it almost impossible for an individual to form a heart.
Soren Kierkegaard
Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do
Soren Kierkegaard
Nothing is as heady as the wine of possibility
Soren Kierkegaard
With respect to physical existence, one needs little, and to the degree that one needs less, the more perfect one is.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is the duty of the human understanding to understand that there are things which it cannot understand.
Soren Kierkegaard
Once you label me you negate me.
Soren Kierkegaard
