To be a teacher does not mean...

To be a teacher does not mean simply to affirm that such a thing is so, or to deliver a lecture, etc.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

At one time my only wish was ...

At one time my only wish was to be a police official. It seemed to me to be an occupation for my sleepless intriguing mind. I had the idea that there, among criminals, were people to fight: clever, vigorous, crafty fellows. Later I realized that it was good that I did not become one, for most police cases involve misery and wretchedness-not crimes and scandals.

Who is also aware of the tremendous risk involved in faith - when he nevertheless makes the leap of faith - this [is] subjectivity ... at its height.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Only one human being recognized as one's neighbour is necessary in order to cure a man of self-love

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

A poet is an unhappy creature...

A poet is an unhappy creature whose heart is tortured by deepest suffering but whose lips are so formed that when his sighs and cries stream out over them, their sound beomes like the sound of beautiful music . . . . And men flock about the poet saying, Sing for us soon again; that is to say, may new sufferings torture your soul, and may your lips continue to be formed as before.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

And if something should be fo...

And if something should be found, particularly in the first part of the dissertation, that one is generally not accustomed to come across in scholarly writings, the reader must forgive my jocundity, just as I, in order to lighten the burden, sometimes sing at my work.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Those who dream must be awake...

Those who dream must be awakened, and the deeper the people are who slumber, or the deeper they slumber, the more important it is that they be awakened, and the more powerfully must they be awakened.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Because of its tremendous sol...

Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Our age is essentially one of...

Our age is essentially one of understanding and reflection, without passion, momentarily bursting into enthusiasm and shrewdly relapsing into repose.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Nowadays not even a suicide k...

Nowadays not even a suicide kills himself in desperation. Before taking the step he deliberates so long and so carefully that he literally chokes with thought. It is even questionable whether he ought to be called a suicide, since it is really thought which takes his life. He does not die with deliberation but from deliberation.

Spirit is the third, yet in such a way that one can speak of a synthesis only when the spirit is posited.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Every day I walk myself into ...

Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Any truth is only true up to ...

Any truth is only true up to a certain point. When one oversteps the mark, it becomes a non-truth.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

I am so stupid that I cannot ...

I am so stupid that I cannot understand philosophy; the antithesis of this is that philosophy is so clever that it cannot comprehend my stupidity. These antitheses are mediated in a higher unity; in our common stupidity.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

...the person who surrenders ...

...the person who surrenders absolutely to God, with no reservations, is absolutely safe. From this safe hiding-place he can see the devil , but the devil cannot see him.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The human race in the course ...

The human race in the course of time has taken the liberty of softening and softening Christianity until at last we have contrived to make it exactly the opposite of what it is in the New Testament.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Idleness, we are accustomed t...

Idleness, we are accustomed to say, is the root of all evil. To prevent this evil, work is recommended.... Idleness as such is by no means a root of evil; on the contrary, it is truly a divine life, if one is not bored.

It is more blessed to give than to receive, but then it is also more blessed to be able to do without than to have to have.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Out of love, God becomes man....

Out of love, God becomes man. He says: 'See, here is what it is to be a human being'.
