More From Soren Kierkegaard

If a serious statement is defined as one that may be made in terms of waking life, poetry will never rise to the level of seriousness. it lies beyond seriousness, on that more primitive and original level where the child, the animal, the savage, and the seer belong, in the region of dream, enchantment, ecstasy, laughter. to understand poetry we must be capable of donning the child's soul like a magic cloak and of forsaking man's wisdom for the child's.

The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.

We must take our sentences seriously, which means we must understand them philosophically, and the odd thing is that the few who do, who take them with utter sober seriousness, the utter sober seriousness of right-wing parsons and political saviors, the owners of pomeranians, are the liars who want to be believed, the novelists and poets, who know that the creatures they imagine have no other being than the sounding syllables which the reader will speak into his own weary and distracted head. there are no magic words. to say the words is magical enough.

In using the terms play and playfulness, i do not intend to suggest any lack of seriousness; quite the contrary. anyone who has watched children, or adults, at play will recognize that there is no contradiction between play and seriousness, and that some forms of play induce a measure of grave concentration not so readily called forth by work.

I've never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the seriousness of pride. people talk, act, live as if they're never going to die. and what do they leave behind? nothing. nothing but a mask.

The style is the man. rather say the style is the way the man takes himself; and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. if it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. if it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. no other way will do.

The more a man writes, the more he can write.

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. wherefore governments rather depend upon men, than men upon governments. let men be good, and the government cannot be bad; if it be ill, they will cure it. but if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn.
