To act is to anchor in an imminent future, so imminent it becomes almost tangible; to act is to feel you are consubstantial with that future.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
Imaginary pains are by far the most real we suffer, since we feel a constant need for them and invent them because there is no way of doing without them.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
The desire to die was my one and only concern; to it I have sacrificed everything, even death.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
In a republic, that paradise of debility, the politician is a petty tyrant who obeys the laws.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
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.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
I lost my sleep, and this is the greatest tragedy that can befall someone. It is much worse than sitting in prison.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
However much I have frequented the mystics, deep down I have always sided with the Devil; unable to equal him in power, I have tried to be worthy of him, at least, in insolence, acrimony, arbitrariness and caprice.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.

Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
Since all life is futility, then the decision to exist must be the most irrational of all.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
The fanatic is incorruptible: if he kills for an idea, he can just as well get himself killed for one; in either case, tyrant or martyr, he is a monster.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
The obsession with suicide is characteristic of the man who can neither live nor die, and whose attention never swerves from this double impossibility.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
My mission is to kill time, and time's to kill me in its turn. How comfortable one is among murderers.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
Insomnia is a vertiginous lucidity that can convert paradise itself into a place of torture.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
No one recovers from the disease of being born, a deadly wound if there ever was one.
Quote by -Emil Cioran
The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live - moreover, the only one.
