"We frequently also find people who in their heart of hearts actually are good but do not have the courage to acknowledge it because it seems that they thereby fall into all too trivial categories [ie., they are unworthy of attention]...This is why many a person prefers to be a philosopher, not a Christian, because to be a philosopher takes talent, to be a Christian humility, and anyone who so wills can have that."
- Kierkegaard, Either/Or, part 2 (Hong translation, p. 227)
