    Soren Kierkegaard (1966). “On Authority and Revelation”

  • . . .the larger the crowd, the more probable that that which it praises is folly, and the more improbable that it is truth; and the most improbable of all that it is any eternal truth.

    Soren Kierkegaard (2013). “Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing”, p.112, Simon and Schuster
  • Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while Truth again reverts to a new minority.

    "The Diary of Soren Kierkegaard" by Soren Kierkegaard, pt. 5, sct. 3, no 128, 1850.
  • Any truth is only true up to a certain point. When one oversteps the mark, it becomes a non-truth.
