So while I was reading my psychology book I stumbled upon a quote that I absolutely LOVE!
"Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards" - Soren Kierkegaard.
haha SO true! I liked it so much I had to find more quotes by him. Here's a few more that I like :)
At the bottom of enmity between strangers lies indifference.
During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk.
Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further.
How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.
I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this.
Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth - look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.
The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen but, if one will, are to be lived.
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.
Haha. Some are kind of depressing but all are true. Anyway, gotta get back to reading my psych book.. byee :)
