"Om hans private Liv vides ikke meget; hans usympathiske Personlighed holdt de Fleste i tilbørlig Afstand," meddeler Brosbøll om Møller, der er blevet kaldt Kierkegaards dæmoniske dobbeltgænger. Også han studerede teologi, men fordrev, ligesom Kierkegaard, især tiden med æstetiske og filosofiske studier, hang på kafeerne og var kendt for sin maliciøse tunge. Og som københavnsk Don Juan. Til lige dele forargelse og misundelse dyrkede han den sanselighed, som andre, herunder Kierkegaard, især dyrkede på noget så platonisk som papir. Som ven af Goldschmidt og satirisk medarbejder ved Corsaren påkaldte han sig Kierkegaards afgrundsdybe despekt.

"Not much is known of his private life; his unpleasant personality kept most people at a proper distance," said Brosbøll about Møller, who has been called Kierkegaard's demonic double. He also studied theology, but spent, like Kierkegaard, his time especially on studying æsthetics and philosophy, hung around in cafes and was known for his malicious tongue. And as a Copenhagen Don Juan. Equal parts of disgust and envy were aroused by his cultivation of that sensuality which others, among them Kierkegaard, in particular cultivated on something as platonic as paper. As a friend of Goldschmidt and satirical staff member of Corsaren he invoked Kierkegaard's inexhaustible disrepect.
