Whenever I happen to be in a city of any size, I marvel that riots do not break out everyday: Massacres, unspeakable carnage, a doomsday chaos. How can so many human beings coexist in a space so confined without hating each other to death?

Tolerance cannot seduce the young.

The deepest and most organic death is death in solitude, when even light becomes a principle of death. In such moments you will be severed from life, from love, smiles, friends and even from death. And you will ask yourself if there is anything besides the nothingness of the world and your own nothingness.

A book has to dig through the wounds, more, it has cause a new one, a book it has to be dangerous.

Nothing sweeter than to drag o...

Nothing sweeter than to drag oneself along behind events; and nothing more reasonable. But without a strong dose of madness, no initiative, no enterprise, no gesture. Reason: the rust of our vitality. It is the madman in us who forces us to adventure; once he abandons us, we are lost; everything depends on him, even our vegetative life; it is he who invites us, who obliges us to breathe, and it is also he who forces our blood to venture through our veins. Once he withdraws, we are alone indeed! We cannot be normal and

Democracy: a festival of mediocrity.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Only one endowed with restless...

Only one endowed with restless vitality is susceptible to pessimism. You become a pessimist-a demonic, elemental, bestial pessimist-only when life has been defeated many times in its fight against depression.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

If we had the courage to confront the doubts we timidly conceive about ourselves, none of us would utter an 'I' without shame.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Beware of thinkers whose minds...

Beware of thinkers whose minds function only when they are fueled by a quotation.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

By what aberration has suicide...

By what aberration has suicide, the only truly normal action, become the attribute of the flawed?

What can be said, lacks reality. Only what fails to make its way into words exists and counts.

Old age, after all, is merely the punishment for having lived.

The more one has suffered, the less one demands. To protest is a sign one has traversed no hell.

Melancholy redeems this universe, and yet it is melancholy that separates us from it.

To read is to let someone else work for you - the most delicate form of exploitation.

If a man has not, by the time he is thirty, yielded to the fascination of every form of extremismЂ'I don't know whether he is to be admired or scorned, regarded as a saint or a corpse.

Is it possible that existence is our exile and nothingness our home?
