Additional quotes by Søren Kierkegaard

Theology sits rouged at the window and courts philosophy's favor, offering to sell her charms to it.

The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
