A Kierkegaard Quote?

A Kierkegaard Quote?

Postby Kolbitar » April 30th, 2006, 9:48 pm

Peter Kreeft quotes Soren Kierkegaard:

"I am terrified by everything, from the smallest gnat to the mystery of the incarnation."

Does anyone know where this extraordinary quote is from?
The man who lives in contact with what he believes to be a living Church is a man always expecting to meet Plato and Shakespeare tomorrow at breakfast. He is always expecting to see some truth that he has never seen before. --Chesterton

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.
