De Omnibus Dubitandum…Everything must be doubted. A good way to get through life, he said. Some distant relative on the Irish wing of the family…he was also a Jesuit priest and a kind of diplomat or something.

Strange because years after he told me I used pass Kierkegaard’s grave when taking a short cut through the cemetery in Copenhagen where he’s buried.
