More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Who am I? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted?
Soren Kierkegaard
All moral elevation consists first and foremost of being weaned from the momentary.
Soren Kierkegaard
The object of (Christian) faith is not the teaching but the Teacher.
Soren Kierkegaard
The person who praises God is on the tracks of justice.
Soren Kierkegaard
How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.
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
One could construe the life of man as a great discourse in which the various people represent different parts of speech (the same might apply to states).
Soren Kierkegaard
I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.
Soren Kierkegaard
No one is so terribly deceived as he who does not himself suspect it.
Soren Kierkegaard
The proud person always wants to do the right thing, the great thing. But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
This is all that I've known for certain, that God is love. Even if I have been mistaken on this or that point: God is nevertheless love.
Soren Kierkegaard
God is present in the moment of choice, not in order to watch but in order to be chosen. Therefore, each person must choose. Terrible is the battle, in a person's innermost being, between God and the world. The crowning risk involved lies in the possession of choice.
Soren Kierkegaard
Truth is not introduced into the individual from without, but was within him all the time.
Soren Kierkegaard
The truth is a trap: you cannot get it without it getting you you cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you.
Soren Kierkegaard
Where there are two people, there is untruth.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more men believe an idea to be true the greater the likelihood that the idea is mistaken. Those who are right usually stand alone.
Soren Kierkegaard
If a man cannot forget, he will never amount to much.
Soren Kierkegaard
Men are not on such intimate terms with the sublime that they really can believe in it
Soren Kierkegaard
To Dare is to risk losing your foothold for a moment, Not to Dare is to risk losing yourself.
Soren Kierkegaard
