“ The lowliest, least talented person can despair, a young girl who is least of all a thinker can despair, while it is easy for anyone to sense the foolishness of saying of these that they are doubters. The reason why a person’s doubt can be assuaged and he can still be in despair, and that this can go on, is that he does not in a deeper sense will despair. ”
 Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or (1843). copy citation
