“Language has time as its element; all other media have space as their element.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life

“What then is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms—in short, a sum of human relations which have been enhanced, transposed, and embellished poetically and rhetorically, and which after long use seem firm, canonical, and obligatory to a people: truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that this is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense

“What is existence for but to be laughed at if men in their twenties have already attained the utmost?”
― Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life

“...my soul always reverts to the Old Testament and to Shakespeare. There at least one feels that it's human beings talking. There people hate, people love, people murder their enemy and curse his descendants through all generations, there people sin.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
