"Life can only be understood backwards; but..." - Quote by Soren Kierkegaard

“The most common form of despair is not being who you are.”

“The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.”

“I have, I believe, the courage to doubt everything; I have, I believe, the courage to fight against everything; but I do not have the courage to acknowledge anything, the courage to possess, to own anything.”

“The way you see things - your attitude - is the most important factor in your success.”

“I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.”

“We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.”

“I don't ask for the sights in front of me to change, only the depth of my seeing.”

“Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection.”

“I did not understand them but they did not have any mystery, and when I understood them they meant nothing to me. I was sorry about this but there was nothing I could do about it.”
