Søren Kierkegaard, the Danish philosopher, was born on this date in 1813. Here are 10 things he said:
- Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
- Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
- Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.
- God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
- Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
- The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.
- To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
- Don't forget to love yourself.
- Once you label me you negate me.
- Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
