... all comparisons injure.
Soren Kierkegaard
Our age is essentially one of understanding and reflection, without passion, momentarily bursting into enthusiasm and shrewdly relapsing into repose.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
Philosophy is life's dry-nurse, who can take care of us - but not suckle us.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
Comparison is the most dangerous acquaintance love can make.
Soren Kierkegaard
Do it or don't do it - you will regret both.
Soren Kierkegaard
I found I had less and less to say, until finally, I became silent, and began to listen. I discovered in the silence, the voice of God
Soren Kierkegaard
I go fishing for a thousand monsters in the depths of my own self
Soren Kierkegaard
The thing is to understand myself: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. That is what I now recognize as the most important thing.
Soren Kierkegaard
Now, with God's help, I shall become myself.
Soren Kierkegaard
It requires courage not to surrender oneself to the ingenious or compassionate counsels of despair that would induce a man to eliminate himself from the ranks of the living but it does not follow from this that every huckster who is fattened and nourished in self-confidence has more courage than the man who yielded to despair.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
