ONE QUOTE CAN CAHNGE YOUR LIFE
To VENTURE causes anxiety, but not to
VENTURE is to lose one self....And to VENTURE in the highest sense is precisely
to become conscious of one’s self.
Soren
Kierkegaard
Life can only be
understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
Soren Kierkegaard
Life has its own hidden forces which you can only
discover by living.
Prayer does not change God, but it
changes him who prays.
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to
change the nature of the one who prays.
Soren
Kierkegaard ... Some information
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (b. 1813, d. 1855) was a
profound and prolific writer in the Danish “golden age” of intellectual and
artistic activity. His work crosses the boundaries of philosophy, theology,
psychology, literary criticism, devotional literature and fiction. Kierkegaard
brought this potent mixture of discourses to bear as social critique and for
the purpose of renewing Christian faith within Christendom. At the same time he
made many original conceptual contributions to each of the disciplines he employed.
He is known as the “father of existentialism”, but at least as important are
his critiques of Hegel and of the German romantics, his contributions to the
development of modernism, his literary experimentation, his vivid
re-presentation of biblical figures to bring out their modern relevance, his
invention of key concepts which have been explored and redeployed by thinkers
ever since, his interventions in contemporary Danish church politics, and his
fervent attempts to analyse and revitalise Christian faith.
