Intoxicating Never Pleasure Possibility Sparkling Wine

Quote Author

Soren Kierkegaard
Danish - Philosopher
May 5, 1813 - November 11, 1855

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!

Soren Kierkegaard

Pleasure disappoints; possibility never.

Soren Kierkegaard

Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority - literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.

Ignazio Silone

There was never a shred, never a hint, never a possibility - not a remote, not a million-, not a billion-to-one possibility - I could have planted anything. Nor would I have a reason to.

Mark Fuhrman

Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.

Bret Harte

The universe is an infinite opportunity creation machine. In every instant, the possibility of greater possibility is programmed into the nature of things. Love creates the conduit through which new possibility enters our experience, and lovelessness keeps it at bay.

Marianne Williamson

It is crucial to be healthy, for pain wipes out the possibility for pleasure, and severe pain removes the possibility of turning to the world outside the body. So we must establish the idea that it is important to look well, not to look young.

Karen DeCrow

Science is based on the possibility of objectivity, on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility, there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories.

Jose Padilha

Of course you can never say zero possibility or 100 per cent possibility in football, because you never know what will happen because football changes so rapidly.

Carlos Tevez

Never admit the possibility of failure, or speak in a way that infers failure as a possibility.

Wallace D. Wattles

I am pleased though that there's a possibility of a diplomatic solution [in Syria]. I remain somewhat skeptical, but I am pleased that it's a possibility and I think people like myself who've been arguing for delaying this bombing, have allowed this diplomatic possibility to occur.

Rand Paul

Nothing is as heady as the wine of possibility

Soren Kierkegaard

Freedom's possibility is not the ability to choose the good or the evil. The possibility is to be able.

Soren Kierkegaard

I believe that the constant possibility of failure or possibility of decision-making feeds your creativity.

Nicolas Winding Refn

It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.

David Levithan

Our lives are about development, mutation and the possibility of change; that is almost a definition of what life is: change... If you disable change, if you effectively stop time, if you prevent the possibility of the alteration of an individual's circumstances — and that must include at least the possibility that they alter for the worse — then you don't have life after death; you just have death.

Iain Banks
