Kierkegaard on Genius, Irony & Mysticism

September 6, 1839:

Most men think, talk, and write as they sleep, eat and drink, without ever raising the question of their relation to the idea; this only happens among the very few and then that decisive moment has in the very highest degree either the power to compel (genius), or it paralyzes the individual with anxiety (irony).

Mysticism has not the patience to wait for God’s revelation.

–Kierkegaard, The Journals

Painting by Kate Shaw
