Only two quotes by Søren Kierkegaard

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (5 May 1813 - 11 November 1855) was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher.
 People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. 
De bruger aldrig de friheder, de har, men fordrer dem, de ikke har; de har tænkefrihed, de fordrer ytringsfrihed.

 The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins. 
Tyrannen dør, og hans magt har ende. Martyren dør, og hans magt begynder.
