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.

Tolerance cannot seduce the young.

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?

We cannot consent to be judged by someone who has suffered less than ourselves. And since each of us regards himself as an unrecognized Job...

We must learn how to explode! Any disease is healthier than the one provoked by a hoarded rage.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

I seem to myself, among civili...

I seem to myself, among civilized men, an intruder, a troglodyte enamored of decrepitude, plunged into subversive prayers.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

No matter which way we go, it ...

No matter which way we go, it is no better than any other. It is all the same whether you achieve something or not, have faith or not, just as it is all the same whether you cry or remain silent.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

As far as I am concerned, I re...

As far as I am concerned, I resign from humanity. I no longer want to be, nor can still be, a man. What should I do? Work for a social and political system, make a girl miserable? Hunt for weaknesses in philosophical systems, fight for moral and esthetic ideals? It's all too little. I renounce my humanity even though I may find myself alone. But am I not already alone in this world from which I no longer expect anything?

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

If I were to be totally sincer...

If I were to be totally sincere, I would say that I do not know why I live and why I do not stop living. The answer probably lies in the irrational character of life which maintains itself without reason.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

How important can it be that I...

How important can it be that I suffer and think? My presence in this world will disturb a few tranquil lives and will unsettle the unconscious and pleasant naivetГ© of others. Although I feel that my tragedy is the greatest in historyЂ'greater than the fall of empiresЂ'I am nevertheless aware of my total insignificance. I am absolutely persuaded that I am nothing in this universe; yet I feel that mine is the only real existence.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

I cannot contribute anything to this world because I only have one method: agony.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

I don't understand why we must...

I don't understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn't it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

A great step forward was made the day men understood that in order to torment one another more efficiently they would have to gather together, to organize themselves into a society

My enthusiasms...constitute my reserves, my unexploited resources, perhaps my future.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

I do not forgive myself for be...

I do not forgive myself for being born. It is as if creeping into this world, I had profaned a mystery, betrayed some momentous pledge, committed a fault of nameless gravity.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Our place is somewhere between being and nonbeing - between two fictions.

Philosophy is a corrective against sadness. Yet there still are people who believe in the profundity of philosophy!

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Does our ferocity not derive from the fact that our instincts are all too interested in other people? If we attended more to ourselves and became the center, the object of our murderous inclinations, the sum of our intolerances would diminish.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Humanity adores only those who cause it to perish.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

If we manage to last in spite ...

If we manage to last in spite of everything, it is because our infirmities are so many and so contradictory that they cancel each other out.
