The toilsome task of developing one’s intellect

“It is very easy to evade the toilsome task of develping and intensifying one’s intellect, and to fall into a glorified childish attitude of gay irresponsibility, and to defend oneself against every reproach by saying, ‘This is a higher form of intelligence!’”

- Soren Kierkegaard From Unscientific Postscript
Found in Emil Brunner’s Revelation and Reason
