More quotes by Emile M. Cioran
No one recovers from the disease of being born, a deadly wound if there ever was one.
Emile M. Cioran
We are all deep in a hell each moment of which is a miracle.
Emile M. Cioran
A golden rule: to leave an incomplete image of oneself.
Emile M. Cioran
Afflicted with existence, each man endures like an animal the consequences which proceed from it. Thus, in a world where everything is detestable, hatred becomes huger than the world and, having transcended its object, cancels itself out.
Emile M. Cioran
One does not inhabit a country one inhabits a language. That is our country, our fatherland - and no other.
Emile M. Cioran
Our first intuitions are the true ones.
Emile M. Cioran
The amount of chiaroscuro an idea harbors is the only index of its profundity.
Emile M. Cioran
If we had the courage to confront the doubts we timidly conceive about ourselves, none of us would utter an 'I' without shame.
Emile M. Cioran
An existence transfigured by failure.
Emile M. Cioran
Nostalgia, more than anything, gives us the shudder of our own imperfection. This is why with Chopin we feel so little like gods.
Emile M. Cioran
My mission is to kill time, and time's to kill me in its turn. How comfortable one is among murderers.
Emile M. Cioran
Write books only if you are going to say in them the things you would never dare confide to anyone.
Emile M. Cioran
As art sinks into paralysis, artists multiply. This anomaly ceases to be one if we realize that art, on its way to exhaustion, has become both impossible and easy.
Emile M. Cioran
Everything turns on pain the rest is accessory, even nonexistent, for we remember only what hurts. Painful sensations being the only real ones, it is virtually useless to experience others.
Emile M. Cioran
Every profound dissatisfaction is of a religious nature: our failures derive from our incapacity to conceive of paradise and to aspire to it, as our discomforts from the fragility of our relations with the absolute.
Emile M. Cioran
Only optimists commit suicide, optimists who no longer succeed at being optimists. The others, having no reason to live, why would they have any to die?
Emile M. Cioran
What do you do from morning to night? I endure myself.
Emile M. Cioran
Show me one thing here on earth which has begun well and not ended badly. The proudest palpitations are engulfed in a sewer, where they cease throbbing, as though having reached their natural term: this downfall constitutes the heart's drama and the negative meaning of history.
Emile M. Cioran
All great ideas should be followed by an exclamation mark - a warning signal similar to the skull and crossbones drawn on high-voltage transformers.
Emile M. Cioran
Vague a l'ame - melancholy yearning for the end of the world.
Emile M. Cioran
