Soren Kierkegaard Quotes
A Strange Thing Happened To Me In My Dream. I Was Rapt Into The Seventh Heaven. There Sat All The Gods Assembled. As A Special Dispensation I Was Granted The Favor To Have One Wish. "Do You Wish For Youth," Said Mercury, "or For Beauty, Or Power, Or A Long Life; Or Do You Wish For The Most Beautiful Woman, Or Any Other Of The Many Fine Things We Have In Our Treasure Trove? Choose, But Only One Thing!" For A Moment I Was At A Loss. Then I Addressed The Gods In This Wise: "Most Honorable Contemporaries, I Choose One Thing - That I May Always Have The Laughs On My Side." Not One God Made Answer, But All Began To Laugh. From This I Concluded That My Wish Had Been Granted And Thought That The Gods Knew How To Express Themselves With Good Taste: For It Would Surely Have Been Inappropriate To Answer Gravely: Your Wish Has Been Granted.
