Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.

Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.

For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.

My day passes between logic, whistling, going for walks, and being depressed. I wish to God that I were more intelligent and everything would finally become clear to me - or else that I needn't live much longer.

The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does what problem this really solves.

Man feels the urge to run up against the limits of language. Think for example of the astonishment that anything at all exists. This astonishment cannot be expressed in the form of a question, and there is also no answer whatsoever. Anything we might say is a priori bound to be nonsense. Nevertheless we do run up against the limits of language. Kierkegaard too saw that there is this running up against something, and he referred to it in a fairly similar way (as running up against paradox). This running up against the limits of language is ethics.

One is unable to notice something because it is always before one's eyes.
