Soren Kierkegaard Quotes About Mediocrity

Quotes about: Mediocrity

• The greatest danger to Christianity is, I contend, not heresies, not heterodoxies, not atheists, not profane secularism - no, but the kind of orthodoxy which is cordial drivel, mediocrity served up sweet. There is nothing that so insidiously displaces the majestic as cordiality.

  Soren Kierkegaard

  Christian, Sweet, Atheist

  Passion, Thinking, Feelings

  Soren Kierkegaard

  Christian, Powerful, Passion

• The thinker without a paradox is like a lover without a feeling: a paltry mediocrity.

  Soren Kierkegaard

  Feelings, Mediocrity, Lovers
