Emile M. Cioran
To venture upon an undertaking of any kind, even the most insignificant, is to sacrifice to envy.

Emile M. Cioran
Losing love is so rich a philosophical ordeal that it makes a hairdresser into a rival of Socrates.
Emile M. Cioran
To Live signifies to believe and hope - to lie and to lie to oneself.
Emile M. Cioran
We cannot be normal and alive at the same time.
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
All philosophers should end their days at Pythia's feet. There is only one philosophy, that of unique moments.
Emile M. Cioran
My enthusiasms...constitute my reserves, my unexploited resources, perhaps my future.
Emile M. Cioran
When every man has realized that his birth is a defeat, existence, endurable at last, will seem like the day after a surrender, like the relief and the repose of the conquered.
Emile M. Cioran
