Those who do not bore themselves are generally people who, in one way or another, keep themselves extremely busy; these people are precisely on this account the most tiresome, the most utterly unendurable. [Either/Or, VOL. I: THE ROTATION METHOD]

Through forgiveness love covers a multitude of sins. [Works of Love]

Thus from the Christian view truth is in the minority; according to the ballot the majority is truth. Splendid! [1848]

Thus, with New Testament in hand, I have said: No, there is something wrong about the way in which we are Christians now. So I want to report to you, O God. If what Christianity promises were actually possible on the terms offered these days, no one is more willing to say, yes, thank you, than I. But I want to report myself to you and ask whether this is as it should be. ["The Sum Total of What I Have Done", 1854]

To be a strong and healthy person who could enter into everything, who had physical energy and a carefree mind--oh! how often I wished for that in earlier years. In my youth my agony was awful. [1848]

To be content with a "mostly," an "as good as," a "you could almost say that," a "when you sleep on it until tomorrow, you can easily say that," suffices merely to betray a kinship with Trop, who, little by little, reached the point of assuming that almost having passed his examinations was the same as having passed them. We all laugh at this; but when philosophers reason in the same matter, in the kingdom of the truth and the sanctuary of science, then it is good philosophy, genuine speculative philosophy. [Concluding Unscientific Postscript]

To learn true humility...it is well for a person to withdraw from the turmoil of the world. [1835]

To one unnamed whose name one day will be named, is dedicated this little work as well as my whole authorship from the beginning. [Two Discourses, 1851]

To say simply and profoundly that we cannot see with the naked eye how consciousness comes into existence is perfectly in order. But to put your eye to a microscope and look and look and look and still not see it, that is comedy. [1846]

...to the Christian love is the works of love. Christ's love was not an inner feeling, a full heart and what not, it was the work of love which was his life.

To think that you could prove so faithless, and so wound my love! Is it then only the omnipotent wonder-worker that you love, and not him who humbled himself to become your equal? [Philosophical Fragments]

To want to be allowed to love me and then also have everything made easier is wanting to have your cake and eat it.
That is how I see it. But as always, I say to myself and to everyone: Go easy; if the going gets rough, then try a less ambitious relationship to God, but in such a way that you nevertheless begin again where you left off; it is not the law you are under, but love. [1852]
