More quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Without risk, faith is an impossibility.
Soren Kierkegaard
It is a very curious thing about superstition. One would expect that the man who had once seen his morbid dreams were not fulfilled would abandon them for the future but on the contrary they grow even stronger just as the love of gambling increases in a man who has once lost in a lottery.
Soren Kierkegaard
Marriage brings one into fatal connection with custom and tradition, and traditions and customs are like the wind and weather, altogether incalculable.
Soren Kierkegaard
Fate, then, is the nothing of anxiety.
Soren Kierkegaard
Love believes all things and yet is never deceived.
Soren Kierkegaard
What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.
Soren Kierkegaard
My sorrow is my castle.
Soren Kierkegaard
Most people rush after pleasure so fast that they rush right past it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Absolute passion cannot be understood by a third party.
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
Only one human being recognized as one's neighbour is necessary in order to cure a man of self-love
Soren Kierkegaard
The presence of irony does not necessarily mean that the earnestness is excluded. Only assistant professors assume that.
Soren Kierkegaard
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Leap of faith – yes, but only after reflection
Soren Kierkegaard
It is better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed. The result may be the same, but you won't be. We always grow more through defeats than victories.
Soren Kierkegaard
Pleasure disappoints possibility never.
Soren Kierkegaard
To love another person is to help them love God.
Soren Kierkegaard
To cheat oneself out of love is the most terrible deception it is an eternal loss for which there is no reparation, either in time or in eternity.
Soren Kierkegaard
A man prayed, and at first he thought that prayer was talking. But he became more and more quiet until in the end he realized prayer is listening.
Soren Kierkegaard
Every mental act is composed of doubt and belief, but it is belief that is the positive, it is belief that sustains thought and holds the world together.
Soren Kierkegaard
