... the more one needs God the more perfect he is. To need God is nothing to be ashamed of but is perfection itself. It is the saddest thing in the world if a human being goes through life without discovering that he needs God!

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Freedom's possibility is not ...

Freedom's possibility is not the ability to choose the good or the evil. The possibility is to be able.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Never cease loving a person, ...

Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The most terrible fight is no...

The most terrible fight is not when there is one opinion against another, the most terrible is when two men say the same thing -- and fight about the interpretation, and this interpretation involves a difference of quality.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The melancholy have the best ...

The melancholy have the best sense of the comic, the opulent often the best sense of the rustic, the dissolute often the best sense of the moral, and the doubter often the best sense of the religious.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The truth is lived before it ...

The truth is lived before it is understood. It must be fought for, tested, and appropriated. Truth is the way... Anyone will easily understand it if he just gives himself to it.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

As my prayer became more atte...

As my prayer became more attentive and inward, I had less and less to say. I finally became completely silent... This is how it is. To pray does not mean to listen to oneself speaking. Prayer involves becoming silent, and being silent, and waiting until God is heard.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

On the whole, the longing for...

On the whole, the longing for solitude is a sign that there still is spirit in a person and is a measure of what spirit there is.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

This is what is sad when one ...

This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness...they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The truth must essentially be...

The truth must essentially be regarded as in conflict with this world; the world has never been so good, and will never become so good that the majority will desire the truth.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Men think that it is impossible for a human being to love his enemies, for enemies are hardly able to endure the sight of one another. Well, then, shut your eyes--and your enemy looks just like your neighbor.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Father in Heaven! When the th...

Father in Heaven! When the thought of thee wakes in our hearts let it not awaken like a frightened bird that flies about in dismay, but like a child waking from its sleep with a heavenly smile.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

You live life looking forward...

You live life looking forward, you understand life looking backward.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

...Christ did not appoint pro...

...Christ did not appoint professors, but followers. If Christianity ... is not reduplicated in the life of the person expounding it, then he does not expound Christianity, for Christianity is a message about living and can only be expounded by being realized in men's lives.

Faith is holding onto uncertainties with passionate conviction.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

Most people rush after pleasure so fast that they rush right past it.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

How could it occur to anyone ...

How could it occur to anyone to demonstrate that God exists unless one has already allowed Himself to ignore Him? A king's existence is demonstrated by way of subjection and submissiveness. Do you want to try and demonstrate that the king exists? Will you do so by offering a string of proofs, a series of arguments? No. If you are serious, you will demonstrate the king's existence by your submission, by the way you live. And so it is with demonstrating God's existence. It is accomplished not by proofs but by worship. Any other way is but a thinker's pious bungling.

It's better to get lost in the passion than to lose the passion

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

To Dare is to risk losing you...

To Dare is to risk losing your foothold for a moment, Not to Dare is to risk losing yourself.

Soren Kierkegaard 575 quotes

The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo.
