"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 also regret it; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both.
Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, you will also regret it; hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both.
This, gentlemen, is the sum and substance of all philosophy."
Enten – Eller 1843 by Søren Kierkegaard
