Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid. Soren Kierkegaard Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate. Soren Kierkegaard Once you label me you negate me. Soren Kierkegaard One can advise comfortably from a safe port. Soren Kierkegaard Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts. Soren Kierkegaard Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown. Soren Kierkegaard People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains, new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something. Soren Kierkegaard People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. Soren Kierkegaard People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me. Soren Kierkegaard |
