Søren Kierkegaard

"The most common form of despair is not being who you are."

"The stone that was rolled before Christ's tomb might appropriately be called the philosopher's stone because its removal gave not only the pharisees but, now for 1800 years, the philosophers so much to think about."

"There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true."

"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."
