To cheat oneself out of love is the most terrible deception; it is an
eternal loss for which there is no reparation, either in time or in
eternity.
What kind of power is it that dares intrude between me and my bride, the
bride I myself have chosen and who has chosen me? And this power would
command her to be true to me; does she then need to be so commanded? And
is she to be true to me only because a third party commands it, one
whom she therefore loves more than me?
Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always
stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by
those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is
illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion — and who, therefore,
in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the
stronger) assume its opinion… while truth again reverts to a new
minority. Purity of heart is to will one thing.
The present generation, wearied by its chimerical efforts, relapses into
complete indolence. Its condition is that of a man who has only fallen
asleep towards morning: first of all come great dreams, then a feeling
of laziness, and finally a witty or clever excuse for remaining in bed.
Kierkegaard.
