The crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

Do it or don't do it - you will regret both.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Once you are born in this world you’re old enough to die.

Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while Truth again reverts to a new minority.

Who is also aware of the tremendous risk involved in faith - when he nevertheless makes the leap of faith - this [is] subjectivity ... at its height.
