"...why bother remembering a past that cannot..." - Quote by Soren Kierkegaard

“He who does not know how to encircle a girl so that she loses sight of everything he does not want her to see, he who does not know how to poetize himself into a girl so that it is from her that everything proceeds as he wants it-he is and remains a bungler”

“Purity of heart is to will one thing.”

“Job endured everything - until his friends came to comfort him, then he grew impatient.”

“You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.”

“Why will we be imposed on by antiquity?”

“What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past.”

“That which was hard to endure is sweet to remember.”

“The truth is you never can leave home. You take it with you everywhere you go. It's under your skin. It moves the tongue or slows it, colors the thinking, impedes upon the logic.”

“There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember.”
