Cioran Life is merely a fracas on an unmapped terrain, and the universe a geometry stricken with epilepsy. E. M. Cioran Nothing proves that we are more than nothing. E. M. Cioran Philosophy: Impersonal anxiety ; refuge among anemic ideas. E. M. Cioran To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten. E. M. Cioran We derive our vitality from our store of madness.
