(Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks, Volume 2, Journals EE-KK, Princeton University Press, 2015, Journal JJ:167. 1843, P. 179).
"I'm not really a very funny guy, but if there's any chance of me being funny, it's just telling you who I am, because it's kind of funny" (circa May 2010--Mike Spiritfair Marty's IDEAS notebook).
