Emil M. Cioran
“If I were to be totally sincere, I would say that I do not know why I live and why I do not stop living. The answer probably lies in the irrational character of life which maintains itself without reason.”
Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

Emil M. Cioran
“As far as I am concerned, I resign from humanity. I no longer want to be, nor can still be, a man. What should I do? Work for a social and political system, make a girl miserable? Hunt for weaknesses in philosophical systems, fight for moral and esthetic ideals? It’s all too little. I renounce my humanity even though I may find myself alone. But am I not already alone in this world from which I no longer expect anything?”
Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“Maybe we just lived between hurting and healing.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Emil M. Cioran
“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

Emil M. Cioran
“Tears do not burn except in solitude.”
Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair
