More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Job endured everything - until his friends came to comfort him, then he grew impatient.
Soren Kierkegaard
The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo the more he can remember, the more divine his life becomes.
Soren Kierkegaard
The crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.
Soren Kierkegaard
If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.
Soren Kierkegaard
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
Soren Kierkegaard
People generally think that it is the world, the environment, external relationships, which stand in one's way, in the way of ones' good fortune... and at bottom it is always man himself that stands in his own way.
Soren Kierkegaard
Philosophy is life's dry-nurse, who can take care of us - but not suckle us.
Soren Kierkegaard
The stone that was rolled before Christ's tomb might appropriately be called the philosopher's stone because its removal gave not only the pharisees but, now for 1800 years, the philosophers so much to think about.
Soren Kierkegaard
Why I so much prefer autumn to spring is that in the autumn one looks at heaven--in the spring at the earth.
Soren Kierkegaard
On the secretly blushing cheek is reflected the glow of the heart
Soren Kierkegaard
Jurists say that a capital crime submerges all lesser crimes and so it is with faith. Its absurdity makes all petty difficultiesvanish.
Soren Kierkegaard
Our age is essentially one of understanding and reflection, without passion, momentarily bursting into enthusiasm and shrewdly relapsing into repose.
Soren Kierkegaard
Preparation for becoming attentive to Christianity does not consist in reading many books ... but in fuller immersion in existence.
Soren Kierkegaard
The idea of demonstrating that this unknown something [God] exists, could scarcely suggest itself to Reason. For if God does not exist it would of course be impossible to prove it, and if he does exist it would be folly to attempt it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Faith is the highest passion in a man.
Soren Kierkegaard
The Bible is God's love letter to us
Soren Kierkegaard
All essential knowledge relates to existence, or only such knowledge as has an essential relationship to existence is essential knowledge.
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
The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.
Soren Kierkegaard
Repetition is the reality and the seriousness of life.
Soren Kierkegaard
