What does the future, that half of time, matter to the man who is infatuated with eternity?
From Emile M. Cioran
I have no nationality - the best possible status for an intellectual.
Each concession we make is accompanied by an inner diminution of which we are not immediately conscious.
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
The mind is the result of the torments the flesh undergoes or inflicts upon itself.
A civilization is destroyed only when its gods are destroyed.
The desire to die was my one and only concern; to it I have sacrificed everything, even death.
Life is possible only by the deficiencies of our imagination and memory.
Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows.
We define only out of despair, we must have a formula... to give a facade tot he void.
