Philosophy: impersonal anxiety; refuge among anemic ideas.

More from Emile Cioran

  1. By all evidence we are in the world to do nothing.
  2. We define only out of despair, we must have a formula... to give a facade to the void.
  3. Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows.
  4. Nothing proves that we are more than nothing.
  5. Chaos is rejecting all you have learned. Chaos is being yourself.
  6. We are afraid of the enormity of the possible.
  7. Life is possible only by the deficiencies of our imagination and memory.
  8. So long as man is protected by madness, he functions, and flourishes.
