There really are people with whom it is horrible to be fellow humans. For them, any concern not physical is laughable. [1847]

These last few days I have been reading Gorres' Athanasius not only with my eyes but with my whole body--with a throbbing heart. [1838]

These words are again and again repeated in the world, and yet many go on as if they had never heard the, and it would perhaps have affected them disturbingly if they had heard them. [specifically refering to James 1:17, but generally to the Word in general; Two Edifying Discourses]

...they deceive themselves and want to swindle God out of the first movement of faith, the infinite resignation. They would suck worldly wisdom out of the paradox. Perhaps one or another may succeed in that, for our age is not willing to stop with faith, with its miracle of turning water into wine; it goes further, it turns wine into water.
Would it not be better to stop with faith, and is it not revolting that everybody wants to go further? [Fear and Trembling]

They don't want to take everything from me, but a little--as if people had the right to deprive anyone of even the least thing. [1846]

...they forget that in the beginning God separated the waters of heaven and earth and that there is something higher than the atmosphere. [30 July 1839]

They have made Christianity into too much of a consolation and forgotten that it is a demand. [1849]

They say love makes one blind; it does more--it deafens and paralyses. The person suffering from it is like the mimosa which closes and which no picklock can open; the more force one uses the more tightly it is shut. [1841]

They write books and then more books about those books, and books to keep it all under review--periodicals in turn are kept going simply through people writing about these, printers flourish, and many, many thousands have jobs--and the life of not a single one of these hired hands even remotely resembles a true Christian existence--yes, it occurs to not a single one of them to take up the New Testament and read it directly and simply, and before God to ask himself the question: Does my life remotely resemble the life of Christ, so that I might dare call myself a follower--I, Professor of Theology, Knight of Dannebrog, honoured and esteemed, with a fixed salary and free professorial housing, and author of several learned books about Paul's three journeys? ["Lines", 1850]

...this being which is ascribed to the thinker does not signify that he is, but only that he is engaged in thinking. [about Kant's "I think, therefore I am" philosophy; Concluding Unscientific Postcript]
