Emile M. Cioran
 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? |
| It is because we are all imposters that we endure each other. |
| It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late. |
| Jealousy - that jumble of secret worship and ostensible aversion. |
| Knowledge subverts love: in proportion as we penetrate our secrets, we come to loathe our kind, precisely because they resemble us. |
| Knowledge, having irritated and stimulated our appetite for power, will lead us inexorably to our ruin. |
| Life creates itself in delirium and is undone in ennui. |
| Life inspires more dread than death-it is life which is the great unknown. |
| Life is merely a fracas on an unmapped terrain, and the universe a geometry stricken with epilepsy. |
| 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. |
| Man is unacceptable. |
| Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows. |
| Maniacs of Procreation, bipeds with devalued faces, we have lost all appeal for each other. |
| Mind, even more deadly to empires than to individuals, erodes them, compromises their solidity. |
| Much more than our other needs and endeavors, it is sexuality that puts us on an even footing with our kind: the more we practice it, the more we become like everyone else: it is in the performance of a reputedly bestial function that we prove our status as citizens: nothing is more public than the sexual act. |
