“All ironical observations depend upon paying attention to the ‘how,’ whereas the gentleman with whom the ironist has the honor to converse is attentive only to the ‘what.’ A man protests loudly and solemnly, ‘This is my opinion.’ However, he does not confine himself to delivering this formula verbatim, he explains himself further, he ventures to vary the expressions. Yes, for it is not so easy to vary as one thinks it is.” ——————————————————– ~Source: Concluding Unscientific Postscript To The “Philosophical Fragments” (1846) Author: Søren Kierkegaard using the pseudonym Johannes Climacus
