Søren Kierkegaard was such a man. Widely considered the father of existential philosophy, Kierkegaard uttered such profundities as: “If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.” But on one truly momentous occasion, Kierkegaard made one confident and succinct statement that shook the earth: “My opponent is a glob of snot.” Kierkegaard spoke of Hans Martensen, an academic with whom he’d had a fair share of disagreements. The two often went toe-to-toe in scholarly debate, but with this dynamite zinger, Kierkegaard ended all further discussion. After all, who expects to be called a glob of snot? There’s no coming back from that. \u003ci\u003eThe Little Book of Zingers\u003c\/i\u003e will explore the rich depths of crushingly hilarious salt-in-the-wound one-liners you’ve never heard that’ll make you gasp at their audacity. From the Age of Enlightenment to the Roaring Twenties to the boogie-down seventies, \u003ci\u003eThe Little Book of Zingers\u003c\/i\u003e will take readers on a journey through some of history’s greatest burns, spoken by the men and women who shaped the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781732512689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Whalen Book Works","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40591755378894,"sku":"9781732512689","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_7d61968e-c322-484c-ac40-01c306eff000.jpg?v=1637756973","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781732512689","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
