Emile M. Cioran
 What pride to discover that nothing belongs to you - what a revelation. |
| What surrounds us we endure better for giving it a name- and moving on. |
| What we crave, what we want to see in others eyes, is that servile expression, an unconcealed infatuation with our gestures. |
| What we want is not freedom but its appearances. It is for these simulacra that man has always striven. And since freedom, as has been said, is no more than a sensation, what difference is there between being free and believing ourselves free? |
| What would be left of our tragedies if an insect were to present us his? |
| When we cannot be delivered from ourselves, we delight in devouring ourselves. |
| Whenever I happen to be in a city of any size, I marvel that riots do not break out everyday: Massacres, unspeakable carnage, a doomsday chaos. How can so many human beings coexist in a space so confined without hating each other to death? |
| Wherever we go, we come up against the human, a repulsive ubiquity before which we fall into stupor and revolt, a perplexity on fire. |
| Who Rebels? Who rises in arms? Rarely the slave, but almost always the oppressor turned slave. |
| Woes and wonders of Power, that tonic hell, synthesis of poison and panacea. |
| Word - that invisible dagger. |
| Write books only if you are going to say in them the things you would never dare confide to anyone. |
| You are alive only when you live by the skin of your teeth. |
| You are done for - a living dead man - not when you stop loving but stop hating. Hatred preserves: in it, in its chemistry, resides the "mystery" of life. |
