There is no false sensation. - Emil Cioran

To make more plans than an explorer or a crook, yet to be infected at the will's very root.

Basically—I speak of life as it is and not of abstract philosophical constructs—life is only bearable because one does not go to the end; doing something is only possible when one has particular illusions and that holds also for friendships, for everything.

I feel effective, competent, likely to do something positive only when I lie down and abandon myself to an interrogation without object or end.
