Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments, Volume 1 Quotes

“A superstitious belief which embraces an error keeps the possibility open that the truth may come to arouse it; but when the truth is there, and the superstitious mode of apprehending it transforms it into a lie, no saving awakening is possible.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments, Volume 1

“Faith is just this, the contradiction between the infinite passion of inwardness and objective uncertainty. If I can grasp God objectively, then I do not have faith, but just because I cannot do this, I must have faith. If I wish to stay in my faith, I must take constant care to keep hold of the objective uncertainty, to be "on the 70,000 fathoms deep" but still have faith.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments, Volume 1
