“How important can it be that I suffer and think? My presence in this world will disturb a few tranquil lives and will unsettle the unconscious and pleasant naiveté of others. Although I feel that my tragedy is the greatest in history—greater than the fall of empires—I am nevertheless aware of my total insignificance. I am absolutely persuaded that I am nothing in this universe; yet I feel that mine is the only real existence.”
― Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

“If we could see ourselves as others see us, we would vanish on the spot.”
― E.M. Cioran

“A great step forward was made the day men understood that in order to torment one another more efficiently they would have to gather together, to organize themselves into a society”
― Emil Cioran

“I cannot contribute anything to this world because I only have one method: agony.”
― Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair
