Quotes

The truly solitary being is not the man who is abandoned by men, but the man who suffers in their midst, who drags his desert through the marketplace and deploys his talents as a smiling leper, a mountebank of the irreparable. The great solitaries were happy in the old days, knew nothing of duplicity, had nothing to hide: they conversed only with their own solitude. Emile M. Cioran
We rightly scorn those who have no made use of their defects, who have not exploited their deficiencies, and have not been enriched by their losses, as we despise any man who does not suffer at being a man or simply at being. Hence no graver insult can be inflicted than to call someone 'happy', no greater flattery than to grant him a 'vein of melancholy'... This is because gaiety is link to no important action and because, except for the mad, no one laughs when he is alone. Emile M. Cioran
Emile M. Cioran quote: "Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness."
Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness. Emile M. Cioran
Emile M. Cioran quote: "The only interesting philosophers are the ones who have..."
The only interesting philosophers are the ones who have stopped thinking and have begun to search for happiness. Emile M. Cioran
To live entirely without a goal! I have glimpsed this state, and have often attained it, without managing to remain there: I am too weak for such happiness. Emile M. Cioran
