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

...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

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

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

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

That is the road we all have ...

That is the road we all have to take - over the Bridge of Sight into eternity.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

A genius may perhaps be a cen...

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 575 quotes

There is nothing everyone is ...

There is nothing everyone is so afraid of as being told how vastly much he is capable of. You are capable of - do you want to know? - you are capable of living in poverty; you are capable of standing almost any kind of maltreatment, abuse, etc. But you do not wish to know about it, isn't that so? You would be furious with him who told you so, and only call that person your friend who bolsters you in saying: 'No, this I cannot bear, this is beyond my strength, etc.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

To pace about, looking to obt...

To pace about, looking to obtain status, looking to attain 'importance' - I can think of nothing more ridiculous.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Why I so much prefer autumn t...

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 575 quotes

It is modest of the nightingale not to require anyone to listen to it; but it is also proud of the nightingale not to care whether any one listens to it or not.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

It takes moral courage to grieve; it requires religious courage to rejoice.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The difference between a man ...

The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

If I am capable of grasping G...

If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe. If I wish to preserve myself in faith I must constantly be intent upon holding fast the objective uncertainty so as to remain out upon the deep, over seventy thousand fathoms of water, still preserving my faith.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

To be a teacher in the right ...

To be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner. I am not a teacher, only a fellow student.

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'.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

With respect to physical exis...

With respect to physical existence, one needs little, and to the degree that one needs less, the more perfect one is.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The reign of the tyrant ends ...

The reign of the tyrant ends with his death, and the reign of the martyr starts with it.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

You wanted God's ideas about ...

You wanted God's ideas about what was best for you to coincide with your ideas, but you also wanted him to be the almighty Creator of heaven and earth so that he could properly fulfill your wish. And yet, if he were to share your ideas, he would cease to be the almighty Father.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Worldly wisdom thinks that lo...

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.
