“People reproach others for fearing God too much. Quite rightly, for in order really to love God it is necessary to have feared God; the bourgeois’ love of God begins when vegetable life is most active, when the hands are comfortably folded on the stomach, and the head sinks back into the cushions of the chair, while the eyes, drunk with sleep, gaze heavily for a moment toward the ceiling.”

    This is one of my favorite quotes from Kierkegaard’s Journals. I reference it in a post I wrote the other day. Check it out if your interested! http://sethpotter.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/all-or-nothing/

    Great blog by the way, I’m definitely going to subscribe. Nothing like a bit of Kierkegaard to living up the day. Thanks!
