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
Don't forget to love yourself.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more a person limits himself, the more resourceful he becomes.
Soren Kierkegaard
Happiness is the greatest hiding place for despair.
Soren Kierkegaard
to have faith is precisely to lose one's mind so as to win God.
Soren Kierkegaard
The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology.
Soren Kierkegaard
Most people are subjective toward themselves and objective toward all others, frightfully objective sometimes--but the task is precisely to be objective toward oneself and subjective toward all others.
Soren Kierkegaard
If anyone on the verge of action should judge himself according to the outcome, he would never begin.
Soren Kierkegaard
