As long as I live I shall not allow myself to forget that I shall die; I am waiting for death so that I can forget about it. - Emil Cioran

At different degrees, everything is pathology, except for indifference.

Nothing surpasses the pleasures of idleness: even if the end of the world were to come, I would not leave my bed at an ungodly hour.

For a long time — always, in fact — I have known that life here on earth is not what I needed and that I wasn't able to deal with it; for this reason and for this reason alone, I have acquired a touch of spiritual pride, so that my existence seems to me the degradation and the erosion of a psalm.
