"Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart."
"Whoever you are, eternity asks you just one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not."
"I scarcely recognize myself. My mind is like a turbulent sea"
"The whole of existence frightens me. "
"Our entire earthly existence is a kind of ill health"
"I was born with a congenital anxiety, I was born gazing into the region of sighs"
Soren Kierkegaard (philosopher)
