“ No girl who is not so proud really knows how to love; but if she is so proud, then the cunning and shrewdness of all the world cannot deceive her.
In the infinite resignation there is peace and rest; every man who will, who has not abased himself by scorning himself (which is still more dreadful than being proud) , can train himself to make these movements. ”
 Søren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling (1843). copy citation
