An existence transfigured by failure.

Emil M. Cioran

I hate wise men because they are lazy, cowardly, and prudent. To the philosophers' equanimity, which makes them indifferent to both pleasure and pain, I prefer devouring passions. The sage knows neither the tragedy of passion, nor the fear of death, nor risk and enthusiasm, nor barbaric, grotesque, or sublime heroism. He talks in proverbs and gives advice. He does not live, feel, desire, wait for anything. He levels down all the incongruities of life and then suffers the consequences. So much more complex is the man who suffers from limitless anxiety. The wise man's life is empty and sterile, for it is free from contradiction and despair. An existence full of irreconcilable contradictions is so much richer and creative. The wise man's resignation springs from inner void, not inner fire. I would rather die of fire than of void.

I'm simply an accident. Why take it all so seriously?

في أغلب الأحيان نحن نرتبط بالله كي ننتقم من الحياة ، كي نعاقبها ، كي نخبرها بأننا نستطيع الاستغناء عنها ، وأننا وجدنا ما هو أفضل منها . كما أننا نتعلق بالله رعباً من البشر ، في نوع من الاقتصاص منهم ، رغبة في جعلهم يفهمون أننا وقد وجدنا حظوة لدى غيرهم ، فإن صحبتهم لم تعد ضرورية لنا ، وأننا إذا كنا نزحف أمامه فكي لا نضطر إلى الزحف أمامهم . دون هذا العنصر الوضيع ، الموث ، الماكر ، يفقد إيماننا قوته بل قد لا يظهر حتى خطوطه الأولى .

We are born to Exist, not to know, to be, not to assert ourselves.

Dans la stupidité il est un sérieux qui, mieux orienté, pourrait multiplier la somme des chefs-d'oeuvre.

We feel safer with a madman who talks than with one who cannot open his mouth.

اللاشعور وطن؛ الوعي منفى.

My disappointments, instead of converging toward a center and constituting if not a system at least an ensemble, are scattered, each supposed itself unique and thereby wasted, lacking organization.
