Søren Kierkegaard

  • Once you label me you negate me.

  • Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.

  • People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.

  • A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.

  • Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.

  • God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.

  • How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.
