Emile M. Cioran
 There is no means of proving it is preferable to be than not to be. |
| Those who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter. |
| To act is to anchor in the imminent future. |
| To be human is no solution, any more than ceasing to be so. |
| To be modern is to tinker with the incurable. |
| To devastate by language, to blow up the word and with it the world. |
| To exist is a habit I do not despair of acquiring. |
| To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer. As soon as they consent to live, the unbeliever and the man of faith are fundamentally the same, since both have made the only decision that defines a being. |
| To Foreswear vengeance is to chain oneself to forgiveness, to flounder in pardon, to be tainted by the hatred smothered within. |
| To Live signifies to believe and hope - to lie and to lie to oneself. |
| To live... in any sense of the word... is to reject others; to accept them, one must renounce, do oneself violence. |
| To venture upon an undertaking of any kind, even the most insignificant, is to sacrifice to envy. |
| To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten. |
| Tolerance - the function of an extinguished ardor - tolerance cannot seduce the young. |
| Torment, for some men, is a need, an appetite, and an accomplishment. |
