By what aberration has suicide, the only truly normal action, become the attribute of the flawed?
Emile M. CioranTo venture upon an undertaking of any kind, even the most insignificant, is to sacrifice to envy.
Emile M. CioranThe reaction against your own thought in itself lends life to thought. How this reaction is born is hard to describe, because it identifies with the very rare intellectual tragedies. The tension, the degree and level of intensity of a thought proceeds from its internal antinomies, which in turn are derived from the unsolvable contradictions of a soul. Thought cannot solve the contradictions of the soul. As far as linear thinking is concerned, thoughts mirror themselves in other thoughts, instead of mirroring a destiny.
Emile M. CioranEvery word affords me pain. Yet how sweet it would be if I could hear what the flowers have to say about death!
