    I think he saw the future in this one!

    “A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.”

    My favourite Kierkegaard quote is:

    "What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect?
    What-a you t'ink you do, why you look-a so sad?
    It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place
    Ah shaddap-a you face!"

    I have no idea what it's about, but it sounds good anyway.
