are a few quotes from Soren Kierkegaard, Danish Philosopher

Date of Birth: May 5, 1813

Date of Death: November 11, 1855

 

I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this.

 

I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.

 

I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both.

 

If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.

 

It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite.

 

It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.

 

It seems essential, in relationships and all tasks, that we concentrate only on what is most significant and important.

 

It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting.

 

Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.

 

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

 

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

 

Life must be understood backwards; but... it must be lived forward.

 

Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth - look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.
