Emile M. Cioran Quotes

«Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.»
«Ennui is the echo in us of time tearing itself apart.»
«Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows.»
«Reality is a creation of our excesses.»
«Consciousness is nature's nightmare.»
«The curtain of the universe is moth-eaten, and through its holes we see nothing now but mask & ghost.»
«Life is nothing; death, everything. Yet there is nothing which is death, independent of life. It is precisely this absence of autonomous, distinct reality which makes death universal; it has no realm of its own, it is omnipresent, like everything which lacks identity, limit, and bearing: an indecent infinitude.»
«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.»
«It is because of speech that men give the illusion of being free. By speaking, they deceive themselves, as they deceive others: because they say what they are going to do, who could suspect they are not masters of their actions?»
«Once we begin to want, we fall under the jurisdiction of the Devil. It is a great force, and a great fortune, to be able to live without any ambition whatever. I aspire to it, but the very fact of so aspiring still participates in ambition.»
