For you who no longer possess ...

For you who no longer possess it, freedom is everything, for us who do, it is merely an illusion.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Freedom can be manifested only...

Freedom can be manifested only in the void of beliefs, in the absence of axioms, and only where the laws have no more authority than a hypothesis.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Glory Ђ' once achieved, what i...

Glory Ђ' once achieved, what is it worth?

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

What every man who loves his c...

What every man who loves his country hopes for in his inmost heart: the suppression of half his compatriots.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Pursued by our origins we all ...

Pursued by our origins we all are.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Losing love is so rich a philo...

Losing love is so rich a philosophical ordeal that it makes a hairdresser into a rival of Socrates.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Afflicted with existence, each...

Afflicted with existence, each man endures like an animal the consequences which proceed from it. Thus, in a world where everything is detestable, hatred becomes huger than the world and, having transcended its object, cancels itself out.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

The history of ideas is the hi...

The history of ideas is the history of the grudges of solitary men.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Wisdom disguises our wounds; i...

Wisdom disguises our wounds; it teaches us how to bleed in secret.

A book is a suicide postponed....

A book is a suicide postponed.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Life without utopia is suffoca...

Life without utopia is suffocating, for the multitude at least: threatened otherwise with petrifaction, the world must have a new madness.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Utopia is the grotesque en ros...

Utopia is the grotesque en rose, the need to associate happiness -- that is, the improbable -- with becoming, and to coerce an optimistic, aerial vision to the point where it rejoins its own source: the very cynicism it sought to combat. In short, a monstrous fantasy.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

An individual dies ... when, i...

An individual dies ... when, instead of taking risks and hurling himself toward being, he cowers within, and takes refuge there.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Fear can supplant our real pro...

Fear can supplant our real problems only to the extent -unwilling either to assimilate or to exhaust it -we perpetuate it within ourselves like a temptation and enthrone it at the very heart of our solitude.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

There is no other world. Nor e...

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.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

It is enough for me to hear so...

It is enough for me to hear someone talk sincerely about ideals, about the future, about philosophy, to hear him say 'we' with a certain inflection of assurance, to hear him invoke 'others' and regard himself as their interpreter - for me to consider him my enemy.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

The premonition of madness is ...

The premonition of madness is complicated by the fear of lucidity in madness, the fear of the moments of return and reunion...one would welcome chaos if one were not afraid of lights in it.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

All that shimmers on the surfa...

All that shimmers on the surface of the world, all that we call interesting, is the fruit of ignorance and inebriation.

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

Only optimists commit suicide,...

Only optimists commit suicide, optimists who no longer succeed at being optimists. The others, having no reason to live, why would they have any to die?

Emil Cioran 493 quotes

History is nothing but a proce...

History is nothing but a procession of false Absolutes, a series of temples raised to pretexts, a degradation of the mind before the Improbable.
