For while no human being was every truly an authority for another, or ever helped anyone by posing as such, or was ever able to take his client with him in truth, there is another sort of success that may by such methods be won; for it has never yet been known to fail that one fool, when he goes astray, takes several others with him. [Philosophical Fragments]

For without risk there is no faith, and the greater the risk, the greater the faith. [Concluding Unscientific Postscript]

Forgetting is the shears with which you cut away what you cannot use, doing it under the supreme direction of memory. [Either/Or, VOL. I: THE ROTATION METHOD]

Forgetting is the true expression for an ideal process of assimilation by which the experience is reduced to a sounding-board for the soul's own music... As a result of attempting to forget only what is unpleasant, most people have a conception of oblivion as an untameable force which drowns out the past. [Either/Or, VOL. I: THE ROTATION METHOD]

Forgetting, when God does it in relation to sin, is the opposite of creating; for creating is bringing forth from nothing; forgetting is resolving back into nothing. What is hidden before my eyes, that I have never seen; but what is hidden behind my back, that I have seen. And just in this way does the lover forgive: he forgives, he forgets, he erases the sin; affectionately he turns toward the one he forgives; but when he turns toward him he cannot see what is lying behind his back. [Works of Love]

...Freedom really only exists because the same instant it (freedom of choice) exists it rushes with infinite speed to bind itself unconditionally by choosing resignation, in the choice of which it is true that there is no question of a choice....But alas, man is not so purely spirit. It seems to him that since the choice is left to him he can take time and first of all think the matter over seriously.

From analogy and induction one can reach a conclusion only by a LEAP. [1844]

From the beginning one should keep the enjoyment under control, never spreading every sail to the wind in any resolve; one ought to devote oneself to pleasure with a certain suspicion, a certain wariness, if one desires to give the lie to the proverb which says that no one can have his cake and eat it too. [Either/Or, VOL. I: THE ROTATION METHOD]

From where, I wonder, do all my problems stem unless from within myself? It is public knowledge that not one single person has dared to oppose me. I have done that myself. ["Reduplication", 1850]

God can just as little prove his own existence than he can swear; he would have nothing higher to swear upon than himself. [23 April 1839]

God can relate to appearance only in a paradoxical way, but also come so close to it that he can stand in the midst of reality, right in front of our noses. ["Spirit--Appearance (Phenomenon), The Nearness of God--The Remoteness of God", 1854]
