More Kierkegaard Quotes

I have been reading some of Soren Kiekegaard's writings lately. Here are some more of his best quotes to consider:
  • 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.
  • Be that self which one truly is.
  • Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.
  • Don't forget to love yourself.
  • During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk.
  • Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.
  • Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further.
  • Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.
  • 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.
