The following text is a  Kierkegaardian quote used in a book by Abraham Joshua Heschel
entitled: A Passion For Truth:

"A Christian (writes Kierkegaard) often feels a need for solitude which for him is a vital
necessity--sometimes like breathing, at other times like sleeping.  The fact that he feels this
vital necessity more than other men is also a sign that he has a deeper nature. Generally the
need for solitude is a sign there is spirit in a man after all, and it is a measure for what spirit
there is. The purely twaddling inhuman and too-human men are to such a degree without
feeling for the need of solitude that like a certain species of social birds (the so-called love
birds) they promptly die if for an instant they have to be alone. As the little child must be put
to sleep by a lullaby, so these men need the tranquillizing hum of society before they are able
to eat, drink, sleep, pray, fall in love, etc. But in ancient times as well as in the Middle Ages
people were aware of the need of solitude and had repect for what it signifies. In the constant
sociability of our age people shudder at solitude to such a degree that they know no other use
to put it but (oh, admirable epigram!) as a punishment for criminals. But after all it is a fact
that in our age it is a crime to have spirit, so it is natural that such people, the lovers of
solitude, are included in the same class with criminals."
Heschel took this quote from the following work of Soren Kierkegaard:
The Sickness unto Death, translated by Walter Lowrie (Princeton, N.J., 1941); Anchor
Edition edition (Garden City, N.Y., 1954, pp. 197f.

A GREAT PLACE TO ENCOUNTER TRUTH AND EXPERIENCE FREEDOM.
The Holy Scriptures are the source of
moral and spiritual light. Yet I
consider that I cast no aspersion
upon the hallowed page when I say
that its radiance is not by itself
enough.  Light alone is not sufficient.

Truth is often found in a book.
"If anyone thinks his own not to be most ample, he may become lord of the whole world, and will yet be wretched."  Epicurus

"And all things as they change proclaim the Lord eternally the same."  Charles Wesley

"Philosophy and science have not always been friendly toward the idea of God, the reason being that they are dedicated to the task of  
accounting for things and are impatient with anything that refuses to give an account of itself.  A. W. Tozer
