ANXIETY IS FREEDOM - Quote from Danish philosopher and religious thinker Soren Kierkegaard. The original quote is: 'Anxiety is freedom's actuality as the possibility of possibility.'
This quote is taken from The Concept of Anxiety (1844). according to Kierkegaard, human lives are set up of three phases:
an esthetic phase, which can be described as hedonistic,
an ethic phase, in which we become aware of our existence and start searching for moral values,
A religious phase, to which we make the 'leap of faith'.
