“O Lord Jesus Christ, I long to live in your presence, to see your human form and to watch you walking on earth. I do not want to see you through the darkened glass of tradition, nor through the eyes of today’s values and prejudices. I want to see you as you were, as you are, and as you always will be. I want to see you as an offense to human pride, as a man of humililty, walking among the lowliest of men, and yet as the savior and redeemer of the human race.” 

-  Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
