Consider love: is there a nobler outpouring, a rapture less suspect? Its shudders rival music, compete with the tears of solitude and of ecstasy: sublime...but a sublimity inseperable from the urinary tract: transports bordering upon excretion, a heaven of the glands, sudden sancitity of the orifices. It takes no more than a moment of attention for this intoxication, shaken, to cast you back into the ordures of physiology or a moment of fatigue to recognize that so much ardor produces only a variety of mucous.
Emile M. CioranTrue confessions are written with tears only. But my tears would drown the world, as my inner fire would reduce it to ashes.
Emile M. CioranSociety is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.
