“Death makes no sense except to people who have passionately loved life. How can one die without having something to part from? Detachment is a negation of both life and death. Whoever has overcome his fear of death has also triumphed over life. For life is nothing but another word for this fear.”
― Emil Cioran, Tears and Saints

“Good health is the best weapon against religion. Healthy bodies and healthy minds have never been shaken by religious fears.”
― Emil Cioran, Tears and Saints

“I don’t understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn’t it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?”
― Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

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