More quotes by Emile M. Cioran
We are so lonely in life that we must ask ourselves if the loneliness of dying is not a symbol of our human existence.
Emile M. Cioran
An existence transfigured by failure.
Emile M. Cioran
Knowledge subverts love: in proportion as we penetrate our secrets, we come to loathe our kind, precisely because they resemble us.
Emile M. Cioran
We must suffer to the end, to the moment when we stop believing in suffering.
Emile M. Cioran
Skepticism is the elegance of anxiety.
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
Man started out on the wrong foot. The misadventure in paradise was the first consequence. The rest had to follow.
Emile M. Cioran
Never to have occasion to take a position, to make up one's mind, or to define oneself - there is no wish I make more often.
Emile M. Cioran
How easy it is to be deep: all you have to do is let yourself sink into your own flaws.
Emile M. Cioran
Death makes no sense except to people who have passionately loved life. How can one die without having something to part from? Detachment is a negation of both life and death. Whoever has overcome his fear of death has also triumphed over life. For life is nothing but another word for this fear.
Emile M. Cioran
True contact between beings is established only by mute presence, by apparent non-communication, by that mysterious and wordless exchange which resembles inward prayer.
Emile M. Cioran
A man who fears ridicule will never go far, for good or ill: he remains on this side of this talents, and even if he has genius, he is doomed to mediocrity.
Emile M. Cioran
Torment, for some men, is a need, an appetite, and an accomplishment.
Emile M. Cioran
When people come to me saying they want to kill themselves, I tell them, What’s your rush? You can kill yourself any time you like. So calm down. Suicide is a positive act. And they do calm down.
Emile M. Cioran
I never met one interesting mind that was not richly endowed with inadmissible deficiencies.
Emile M. Cioran
Sometimes I wish I were a cannibal – less for the pleasure of eating someone than for the pleasure of vomiting him.
Emile M. Cioran
Time is heavy sometimes imagine how heavy eternity must be.
Emile M. Cioran
I seem to myself, among civilized men, an intruder, a troglodyte enamored of decrepitude, plunged into subversive prayers.
Emile M. Cioran
There is no other world. Nor even this one. What, then, is there? The inner smile provoked in us by the patent nonexistence of both.
Emile M. Cioran
Life without utopia is suffocating, for the multitude at least: threatened otherwise with petrifaction, the world must have a new madness.
Emile M. Cioran
