More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Spirit is the third, yet in such a way that one can speak of a synthesis only when the spirit is posited.
Soren Kierkegaard
Christendom has done away with Christianity without being quite aware of it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Fate, then, is the nothing of anxiety.
Soren Kierkegaard
If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe. If I wish to preserve myself in faith I must constantly be intent upon holding fast the objective uncertainty so as to remain out upon the deep, over seventy thousand fathoms of water, still preserving my faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
Soren Kierkegaard
A human being is a spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is self? The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation.
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
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
Soren Kierkegaard
Worldly wisdom thinks that love is a relationship between man and man. Christianity teaches that love is a relationship between man-God-man, that is, that God is the middle term.
Soren Kierkegaard
Purity of heart is to will one thing.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
Soren Kierkegaard
Nothing is as heady as the wine of possibility
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
All essential knowledge relates to existence, or only such knowledge as has an essential relationship to existence is essential knowledge.
Soren Kierkegaard
If I were a physician, and if I were allowed to prescribe just one remedy for all the ills of the modern world, I would prescribe silence. For even if the Word of God were proclaimed in the modern world, how could one hear it with so much noise? Therefore, create silence.
Soren Kierkegaard
Pleasure disappoints possibility never.
Soren Kierkegaard
Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth.
Soren Kierkegaard
Do it or don't do it - you will regret both.
Soren Kierkegaard
