SO GOOD QUOTES

  • But even I, being the person I unfortunately am, had to say that without her I could be happier in my unhappiness than with her – she had touched me deeply, and I would so much, ever so much, have done everything.” 24 August, 1849

    Kierkegaard broke off the engagement believing it would be torturous for Olsen to be his companion because there was “something spectral about me, something no one can endure who has to see me every day and have a real relationship with me”. Kierkegaard also believed that God was calling him to celibacy and that his life was soon to be over as his health was always poor, being rejected by the military for being unfit previously.

    On Søren Kierkegaard

  • It’s the terror young men feel towards attractive women, who are nature itself, ever ready to reject them, intimately, at the deepest possible level. Nothing inspires self-consciousness, undermines courage, and fosters feelings of nihilism and hatred more than that.

  • And whatever quarrels there may be between them they ought not to call in their own mother to judge between them and tell tales of one another. They are their own judges. Love is a holy mystery and ought to be hidden from all other eyes, whatever happens. That makes it holier and better. They respect one another more, and much is built on respect.

    And once they have children, the most difficult times will seem to them happy, so long as there is love and courage. Even toil will be a joy, you may deny yourself bread for your children and even that will be a joy, They will love you for it afterwards; so you are laying by for your future.

    Notes from the Underground
    Fyodor Dostoyevsky

  • And what if all goes well with the family, if the blessing of God is upon it, if the husband is a good one, loves you, cherishes you, never leaves you! There is happiness in such a family! Even sometimes there is happiness in the midst of sorrow; and indeed sorrow is everywhere.

    Fyodor Dostoyevsky

  • Do You Want a Family or a Calling?

  • The truth is, when a man and a woman are drawn to each other, they engage in this interplay. It’s not about one pursuing the other or desperate chasing. There’s no chase at all. It’s a natural kalinka.

  • Children pay the highest price as a result of divorce [of their parents]. The children of divorced parents harbor a fear of instability in their own marriage. The hurt  from their parents’ divorce may endure, and their wounds may persist, even into their own marriages.

  • Likewise, the devil may approach an adolescent young man, and entice him into satisfying his flesh by way of sensual pleasure, but the Lord says to him, “Wait until you are in a godly relationship through the Mystery of Matrimony. Then you will find perfect satisfaction.”

    —H.E. Metropolitan Youssef, How to Develop Your Personality

  • Half the passion of being in a romantic relationship is being possessive over each other. Jealousy is a good emotion.
