Additional quotes by Emil Cioran

How I wish I didn't know anything about myself and this world!

This world was created from God's fear of solitude. In other words, us, the creatures, have no other meaning but to distract the Creator. Poor clowns of the absolute, we forget that we live dramas for the boredom of a spectator, whose claps have never reached the ears of a mortal.

Old age, after all, is merely the punishment for having lived.

After all, why should ordinary people want to contemplate the End, especially when we see the condition of those who do? - Emil Cioran
