Emile M. Cioran
  • Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

  • Isn't history ultimately the result of our fear of boredom?

  • To Live signifies to believe and hope - to lie and to lie to oneself.

  • We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.

  • Life is possible only by the deficiencies of our imagination and memory.
