Hanging out...........................

........................................................with Søren Kierkegaard:

“The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.” 

“How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.”

“Nothing is as heady as the wine of possibility” 

“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”

“The daily press is the evil principle of the modern world, and time will only serve to disclose this fact with greater and greater clearness. The capacity of the newspaper for degeneration is sophistically without limit, since it can always sink lower and lower in its choice of readers. At last it will stir up all those dregs of humanity which no state or government can control.”

“What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.”
