Someday the old shack we call the world will fall apart. How, we don’t know, and we don’t really care either. Since nothing has real substance, and life is a twirl in the void, its beginning and its end are meaningless.
Emil M. CioranThe only interesting philosophers are the ones who have stopped thinking and have begun to search for happiness.
Emil M. CioranThe initial revelation of any monastery: everything is nothing. Thus begin all mysticisms. It is less than one step from nothing to God, for God is the positive expression of nothingness.
Emil M. CioranLove of the absolute engenders a predilection for self-destruction. Hence the passion for monasteries and brothels. Cells and women, in both cases. Weariness with life fares well in the shadow of whores and saintly women.
Emil M. CioranThere are no solutions, only cowardice masquerading as such.
Emil M. CioranGood health is the best weapon against religion. Healthy bodies and healthy minds have never been shaken by religious fears.
Emil M. CioranThe poor maidservant who used to say that she only believed in God when she had a toothache puts all theologians to shame.
Emil M. CioranThe more one is obsessed with God, the less one is innocent. Nobody bothered about him in paradise. The fall brought about this divine torture. It’s not possible to be conscious of divinity without guilt. Thus God is rarely to be found in an innocent soul.
