Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard was getting ready for the big annual fishing trip: " I have this lovely green oar, and I love how it looks with the trees and bushes in the background when I am in the lake... But then I have this wonderful blue oar that looks so nice with the sky and the blue water. And I need to choose one, but then it hit me! Either oar! Either\Or! That was the birth of existentialism right there on that lake. I caught good fish, also that day."

That was brilliant!
Later in life, when Søren Kierkegaard was sick in the hospital, he looked back upon his life with an admittance that he had suffered greatly. An individualist at heart, and a fighter of the Christian and Lutheran Church throughout his later years, in a twist of existential irony he questioned the utility of his efforts in the present and future: "Was my fight worth the toll of health? I got in a stern row with the Church, which keeps reeling for victims by paddling its rivers of lies; but, at least I caught some good fish."
