My life is absolutely meaningless. When I consider the different periods into which it falls, it seems like the word Schnur in the dictionary, which means in the first place a string, in the second, a daughter-in-law. The only thing lacking is that the word Schnur should mean in the third place a camel, in the fourth, a dust-brush.
Soren KierkegaardTo be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner. I am not a teacher, only a fellow student.
Soren KierkegaardEvery day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts.
Soren KierkegaardAs I stood alone and forsaken, and the power of the sea and the battle of the elements reminded me of my own nothingness, and on the other hand, the sure flight of the birds recalled the words spoken by Christ: Not a sparrow shall fall on the ground without your Father: then, all at once, I felt how great and how small I was; then did those two mighty forces, pride and humility, happily unite in friendship.
