To cheat oneself out of love is the most terrible deception; it is an eternal loss for which there is no reparation, either in time or in eternity.
Søren Kierkegaard
It is modest of the nightingale not to require anyone to listen to it; but it is also proud of the nightingale not to care whether any one listens to it or not.
Søren Kierkegaard, Present Age (via closeandoutofink)
The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins.
Soren Kierkegaard (via philosophy-quotes)
Most people are subjective toward themselves and objective toward all others, frightfully objective sometimes—but the task is precisely to be objective toward oneself and subjective toward all others.
Kierkegaard (via falsedilemmas)
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards

Life of Brian
(via shindou)
We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.

Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.
