Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearences. – Soren Kierkegaard
Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown. – Soren Kierkegaard

Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor. – Soren Kierkegaard
