"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." ― Soren Kierkegaard Topic(s): Experience More From Soren Kierkegaard "Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearences." "Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it." "If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe." More In Experience "I know from my own personal experience. I was bullied in middle school and high school and went through my fair share of hard times thereafter. Also, one of my really good friends committed suicide when I was in high school."― Brittany Snow "Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude."― Denis Waitley "Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it."― Laurence J.
