What's an obnoxiously difficult to understand paragraph from a philosophy text?

My friends don't study philosophy, but keep hearing from me about how difficult the language used is. I'm giving them a 'one paragraph challenge', where they have to figure out what a single paragraph of extremely precise language means.

Please be as obtuse as possible. Annoyingly hard to understand words would be ideal. It can't be something that makes no sense outside of the context of other surrrounding paragraphs; it has to stand on its own. Has to be from a textbook philosopher, like Kant or Hegel or Locke or whatever.

From Søren Kierkegaard's Sickness unto Death:
“The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.”
