Søren Kierkegaard - Either/Or

Marry, and you will regret it;

don’t marry, you will also regret it;

marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way.

Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it;

weep over it, you will regret that too;

laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both.

Believe a woman, you will regret it;

believe her not, you will also regret it…

Hang yourself, you will regret it;

do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too;

hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way;

whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both.

This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.
