Emil M. Cioran
“Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on.

Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy.”
Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

Emil M. Cioran
“Only those are happy who never think or, rather, who only think about life's bare necessities, and to think about such things means not to think at all. True thinking resembles a demon who muddies the spring of life or a sickness which corrupts its roots. To think all the time, to raise questions, to doubt your own destiny, to feel the weariness of living, to be worn out to the point of exhaustion by thoughts and life, to leave behind you, as symbols of your life's drama, a trail of smoke and blood - all this means you are so unhappy that reflection and thinking appear as a curse causing a violent revulsion in you.”
Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

Matt Haig
“If you think something is ugly, look harder. Ugliness is just a failure of seeing.”
Matt Haig, The Humans

Emil M. Cioran
“This very second has vanished forever, lost in the anonymous mass of the irrevocable. It will never return. I suffer from this, and I do not. Everything is unique—and insignificant.”
Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

Emil M. Cioran
“What do you do from morning to night?"

"I endure myself.”
Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born
