“What pride to discover that nothing belongs to you - what a revelation...” — Emil Cioran Quote

“What pride to discover that nothing belongs to you - what a revelation.”

“As incompetent in life as in death, I loathe myself and in this loathing I dream of another life, another death. And for having sought to be a sage such as never was, I am only a madman among the mad . . .”

“The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live - moreover, the only one.”

“We cannot certainly, have any excuse either for taking any thing that belongs to our masters without their leave, or for being unfaithful in their business.”

“Who belongs to the community of the commonly protected?”

“The sage belongs to the same obsolete repertory as the virtuous maiden and the enlightened monarch.”
