Quotes by Emile M. Cioran

54 Existential Essentials, for the Individual Mind!

Emile M. Cioran, 1911 - 1995, A Romanian writer who spent most his life in Paris writing 'a philosophical romance on modern themes of alienation, absurdity, boredom, futility, decay, the tyranny of history, the vulgarities of change, awareness as agony, reason as disease.

His short, biting and often humorous aphorisms of normally no more than three lines reveal more than several volumes of another author's work on the same subject. His essays display the same deadly accuracy and possess a density that can make reading three pages an ordeal.
