More quotes by Søren Kierkegaard

"And when the hourglass has run out, the hourglass of temporality, when the noise of secular life has grown silent and its restless or ineffectual activism has come to an end, when everything around you is still, as it is in eternity, then eternity asks you and every individual in these millions and millions about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not."
"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
"The paradox in Christian truth is invariably due to the fact that it is the truth that exists for God. The standard of measure and the end is superhuman; and there is only one relationship possible: faith."
"The most common form of despair is not being who you are."
"Therefore do not deceive yourself! Of all deceivers fear most yourself!"
