Author of quotes: Søren Kierkegaard

Most are so diligent in pursuing pleasure that they overtake it.

What strange people! Never using the freedom assigned to them in one area, they at all costs demand it in another: they have been given freedom of thought, but no, give them freedom of speech!

Only a low life looking for the law of their actions in the other person, the preconditions of their actions outside themselves.

Seeing so much people putting on their shoulders so many human concerns, trying to understand how is the life of this world, so hopeless forgets himself, forgets his divine name, do not dare to believe in yourself, and consider too daring to be themselves, and then believes that it is easier and safer to be like others, be embodied aping one of the rooms, absorbed the herd.

The one who pretends that creates a system believes its responsibility is great; but he who writes a monograph, can and should remain faithful and small.

Anna-Louise Steel-Holstein said that even the smallest people look smart, as long as they are familiar with the speculative philosophy.

Faith is the highest passion in a man. In each generation, there may be many people who do not come to her, but no one goes further. <...> But even for someone who never comes to faith in life has enough challenges and if the person honestly loves his life is not wasted, even if he can never be compared to those who perceived and grasped the highest.

The worst of the dangers - the loss of his I - can we go completely unnoticed, as if nothing had happened. Nothing causes less noise, no loss of legs, condition of women and the like - are not seen so little.

... and it cannot be denied that every man has the inclination, he saw a monster, immediately to associate the idea of moral perversion. What a terrible injustice!

Dead letter sometimes stronger than the living word.

Fear is not beautiful in itself, but only in connection with overcoming its energy.

If I were asked what my ideal of a young girl, I would have said it should be left to itself in its development, and most importantly - not to have any friends.

The point is not to seduce the girl, but to find one that is flatter.

A young girl - a born mentor, who you can always learn, if nothing else, at least the art of deceiving her! Nobody teach her better than most. And I until a ripe old age, preach the truth: only then missing person permanently, when they become so old that anything has no longer can learn from young girls!
