Soren Kierkegaard Quotes About Crime

Quotes about: Crime

• Christianity does not oppose debauchery and uncontrollable passions and the like as much as it opposes... flat mediocrity, this nauseating atmosphere, this homey, civil togetherness, where admittedly great crimes, wild excesses, and powerful aberrations cannot easily occur - but where God's unconditional demand has even greater difficulty in accomplishing what it requires: the majestic obedience of submission.

  Soren Kierkegaard

  Christian, Powerful, Passion

• At one time my only wish was to be a police official. It seemed to me to be an occupation for my sleepless intriguing mind. I had the idea that there, among criminals, were people to fight: clever, vigorous, crafty fellows. Later I realized that it was good that I did not become one, for most police cases involve misery and wretchedness-not crimes and scandals.

  Soren Kierkegaard

  Clever, Fighting, Ideas

• Jurists say that a capital crime submerges all lesser crimes; and so it is with faith. Its absurdity makes all petty difficultiesvanish.

  Soren Kierkegaard

  Faith, Crime, Absurdity

  Soren Kierkegaard (2017). “Philosophical Fragments”, p.67, Jovian Press
