A garbled quotation is equivalent to a betrayal, an insult, a prejudice.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

How easy it is to be 'deep': all you have to do is let yourself sink into your own flaws.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

After having struggled madly t...

After having struggled madly to solve all problems, after having suffered on the heights of despair, in the supreme hour of revelation, you will find that the only answer, the only reality, is silence.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

We change ideas like neckties....

We change ideas like neckties.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

The source of our actions resi...

The source of our actions resides in an unconscious propensity to regard ourselves as the center, the cause, and the conclusion of time. Our reflexes and our pride transform into a planet the parcel of flesh and consciousness we are.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Those who believe in their tru...

Those who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Show me one thing here on eart...

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.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

A decadent civilization compromises with its disease, cherishes the virus infecting it, loses its self-respect.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

To exist is equivalent to an a...

To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer. As soon as they consent to live, the unbeliever and the man of faith are fundamentally the same, since both have made the only decision that defines a being.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

To exist is a habit I do not d...

To exist is a habit I do not despair of acquiring.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Much more than our other needs...

Much more than our other needs and endeavors, it is sexuality that puts us on an even footing with our kind: the more we practice it, the more we become like everyone else: it is in the performance of a reputedly bestial function that we prove our status as citizens: nothing is more public than the sexual act.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Boredom dismantles the mind, r...

Boredom dismantles the mind, renders it superficial, out at the seams, saps it from within and dislocates it.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

If you lack the power to demor...

If you lack the power to demoralize yourself along with the age, to go as low and as far, do not complain of being misunderstood by it.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

There is not much difference b...

There is not much difference between a mortal man and a dying man. The absurdity of making plans is only slightly more obvious in the second case.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Discretion is deadly to genius...

Discretion is deadly to genius; ruinous to talent.

We are all deep in a hell each moment of which is a miracle.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

The wise man, the sage, is hos...

The wise man, the sage, is hostile to the new. Disabused, he abdicates: that is his form of protest.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

What necessity impels a writer...

What necessity impels a writer who has produced fifty books to write still one more? Why this proliferation, this fear of being forgotten, this debased coquetry?

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Every form of talent involves a certain shameless-ness.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

The literary man? An indiscree...

The literary man? An indiscreet man, who devaluates his miseries, divulges them, tells them like so many beads: immodesty-the sideshow of second thoughts-is his rule; he offers himself.
