There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
Soren Kierkegaard
I have only one friend, and that is echo. Why is it my friend? Because I love my sorrow, and echo does not take it away from me. I have only one confidant, and that is the silence of night. Why is it my confidant? Because it remains silent.
Soren Kierkegaard
People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains, new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of human they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something.
Soren Kierkegaard
A good decision is our will to do everything we can within our power. It means to serve God with all we've got, be it little or much. Every person can do that.
Soren Kierkegaard
The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.
Soren Kierkegaard
O Luther, you had 95 theses . . . The matter is far more terrible-there is only one thesis. The Christianity of the New Testament does not exist at all. Here there is nothing to reform.
Soren Kierkegaard
Shows itself in the notion that what may be objectively true may in the mouth of certain people become false.
Soren Kierkegaard
A genius may perhaps be a century ahead of his age and hence stands there as a paradox, but in the end, the race will assimilate what was once a paradox, so it is no longer paradoxical.
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
Only the noble of heart are called to difficulty.
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
Geniuses are like thunderstorms: they go against the wind, terrify people, clear the air.
Soren Kierkegaard
In the eyes of God, the infinite spirit, all the millions that have lived and now live do not make a crowd. He only sees each individual
Soren Kierkegaard
Hope is a passion for the possible.
Soren Kierkegaard
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.
Soren Kierkegaard
The paradox in Christian truth is invariably due to the fact that it is the truth that exists for God. The standard of measure and the end is superhuman and there is only one relationship possible: faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
Happiness is the greatest hiding place for despair.
Soren Kierkegaard
To Dare is to risk losing your foothold for a moment, Not to Dare is to risk losing yourself.
Soren Kierkegaard
No one is so terribly deceived as he who does not himself suspect it.
Soren Kierkegaard
During the first period of our lives the greatest danger is not to take the risk. When once the risk has been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much. By not risking at first one turns aside and serves trivialities in the second case, by risking too much, one turns aside to the fantastic and perhaps to presumption.
Soren Kierkegaard
