Hope is a passion for the possible.
Soren Kierkegaard
The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology.
Soren Kierkegaard
No one may pride himself at being more than an individual, and no one despondently think that he is not an individual.
Soren Kierkegaard
I have, I believe, the courage to doubt everything I have, I believe, the courage to fight against everything but I do not have the courage to acknowledge anything, the courage to possess, to own anything.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
There can be no faith without risk.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
I do not lack the courage to think a thought whole.
Soren Kierkegaard
May new sufferings torment your soul.
Soren Kierkegaard
A poet is not an apostle he drives out devils only by the power of the devil.
Soren Kierkegaard
Repetition is the reality and the seriousness of life.
Soren Kierkegaard
Seek first God's Kingdom, that is, become like the lilies and the birds, become perfectly silent - then shall the rest be added unto you.
Soren Kierkegaard
If a man wants to set up as an innkeeper and he does not succeed, it is not comic. If, on the contrary, a girl asks to be allowed to set up as a prostitute and she fails, as sometimes happens, it is comic.
Soren Kierkegaard
Most people rush after pleasure so fast that they rush right past it.
Soren Kierkegaard
