More quotations from Soren Kierkegaard And this is the simple truth — that to live is to feel oneself lost. He who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. Instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look around for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. These are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. All the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce. —Soren Kierkegaard More about this quote Tags: truth life ideas tragedy clinging chaos salvation being lost Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are. —Soren Kierkegaard More about this quote Tags: reality power change facts denial Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good. —Soren Kierkegaard More about this quote Tags: time evil good idleness Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all. —Soren Kierkegaard More about this quote Tags: love Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. —Soren Kierkegaard More about this quote Tags: freedom thinking speech Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
