Quote #23
Reality is a creation of our excesses.
More from Emile Cioran
- Ennui is the echo in us of time tearing itself apart.
- Life creates itself in delirium and is undone in ennui.
- We change ideas like neckties.
- Each of us is born with a share of purity, predestined to be corrupted by our commerce with mankind, by that sin against solitude.
- Life inspires more dread than death-it is life which is the great unknown.
- We die in proportion to the words we fling around us.
- Under each formula lies a corpse.
- Anyone who speaks in the name of others is always an impostor.
