Each concession we make is accompanied by an inner diminution of which we are not immediately conscious.
Emile M. CioranThe 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.
Emile M. CioranThe capital phenomenon, the most catastrophic disaster, is uninterrupted sleeplessness, that nothingness without release.
