"I have only one friend, and that..." - Quote by Soren Kierkegaard

“The thing that cowardice fears most is decision”

“In the end, therefore, money will be the one thing people will desire, which is moreover only representative, an abstraction. Nowadays a young man hardly envies anyone his gifts, his art, the love of a beautiful girl, or his fame; he only envies him his money. Give me money, he will say, and I am saved...He would die with nothing to reproach himself with, and under the impression that if only he had had the money he might really have lived and might even have achieved something great.”

“Genius never desires what does not exist.”

“Spending a lot of time alone, gave me a lot of time to think. A lot of time to think gave me the time to write songs.”

“At a certain level of suffering or injustice no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.”

“Humility provides everyone, even him who despairs in solitude, with the strongest relationship to his fellow man.”

“All men know their children Mean more than life. If childless people sneer- Well, they've less sorrow. But what lonesome luck!”

“I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.”

“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
