Soren Kierkegaard Quotes

To the Christian, love is the works of love. To say that love is a feeling or anything of the kind is an unchristian conception of love. That is the aesthetic definition and therefore fits the erotic and everything of that nature. But to the Christian love is the works of love. Christ's love was not an inner feeling, a full heart and what not, it was the work of love which was his life.

• People make me key chains... someone attached a Dauntless symbol to a silver pen. That one is what I use to sign books. I use that a lot.
