WHAT REALLY COUNTS in life is that at some time you have seen something, felt something, which is so great, so matchless, that everything else is nothing by comparison, that even if you forgot everything, you would never forget this.

Our son's birth--the moment of silence, the first cry.
Very nice. Being present at the birth of our children was a fantastic thing!
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Kierkegaard. The more I read of him, the more I love him.

I haven't read a lot of Kierkegaard, but every quote I've heard from him has a great deal of depth.
You're welcome, Martin. :-)
