“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!"
— Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
“The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of one who prays.”
- Søren Kierkegaard
