   • 1843, Søren Kierkegaard, Samlede værker, page 214:

     Men deraf synes at følge noget Andet, at nemlig Mennesket først, hvis han skal faae Noget i Sandhed at vide om det Ubekjendte (Guden), maa faae at vide, at det er forskjelligt fra ham, absolut forskjelligt fra ham.

     But from that, something else seems to follow, namely, that the human must first, if he is to truly get any knowledge about the unknown (the god), must be told that it is different from him, absolutely different from him.
