"In a theater, it happened that a fire started offstage. The clown came out to tell the audience. They thought it was a joke and applauded. He told them again, and they became still more hilarious. This is the way, I suppose, that the world will be destroyed-amid the universal hilarity of wits and wags who think it is all a joke."

- Søren Kierkegaard

I found that Kierkegaard quote I mentioned in my last post ! It's from the 1st volume of his famous book Either/Or (Danish: Enten – Eller) published in 1843 under the pseudonym 'Victor Eremita'. You can find an online version of the text HERE (sorry if the website is buggy).

The sketch portrait of Søren Kierkegaard can be found HERE . The photo of the burning building is a free picture uploaded by Rowan Freeman to Unsplash.com avaliable HERE .
