Soren Kierkegaard — "God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but He does what…"

"I see it all, I understand it all, I grasp it all, but I do not want to obey."

"What a misfortune to be a woman! And yet, the worst misfortune is not to understand what a misfortune it is."

"The self is a relation which relates itself to itself or, what is the same thing, is in the relation's relating itself to itself."

"The highest good is not to be understood as an abstract, but as a concrete, as a personality."

"Despair is the sickness unto death, this tormenting contradiction, this sickness in the self; it is to be eternally dying, to die and yet not die, to die the death."
