Despite the protestations, one sometimes wonders if we are beginning to worship worship rather than worship God.

But more words tumble out. "You're a painter. You're a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces."

I took it for granted that there must be a few men left in the world who had that kind of strength. I assumed that those men would also be looking for women with principle.

He will, of course refrain from bringing a fixed and definite mood with him so that everything affects him in relation to that mood. He will have perfected his mood, in that he will be able to keep himself in a condition where no particular mood is present, but where all moods are possible. — Soren Kierkegaard
