Quotes

To live in any true sense of the word is to reject others; to accept them, one must be able to renounce, to do oneself violence, to act against one's own nature, to weaken oneself; we conceive freedom only for ourselves - we extend it to our neighbours only at the cost of exhausting efforts; whence the precariousness of liberalism, a defiance of our instincts, a brief and miraculous success, a state of exception, at the antipodes of our deepest imperatives. Emile M. Cioran
Negation is the mind's first freedom, yet a negative habit is fruitful only so long as we exert ourselves to overcome it, adapt it to our needs; once acquired it can imprison us. Emile M. Cioran
Emile M. Cioran quote: "For you who no longer posses it, freedom is everything, for us..."
For you who no longer posses it, freedom is everything, for us who do, it is merely an illusion. Emile M. Cioran
Emile M. Cioran quote: "No one can enjoy freedom without trembling."
No one can enjoy freedom without trembling. Emile M. Cioran
