“There are many, indeed, who show no such anxiety. But we affirm that they are merely disguising their anguish or are in flight from it.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism

“Infinite resignation is that shirt in the old fable. The thread is spun with tears, bleached by tears, the shirt sewn in tears, but then it also gives better protection than iron and steel. A defect of the fable is that a third party is able to make the material. The secret in life is that everyone must sew it for himself.”
― Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

“Faith begins precisely where thinking leaves off”
― Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

“In life, a man commits himself, draws his own portrait and there is nothing but that portrait. no doubt this thought may seem comfortless to one who has not made a success of his life. On the other hand, it puts everyone in a position to understand that reality alone is reliable; that dreams, expectations and hopes serve to define a man only as deceptive dreams, abortive hopes, expectations unfulfilled; that is to say, they define him negatively, not positively.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism
