"iki düşman, aynı ama bölünmüş iki kişidir."

[jacobwren]

"The same feeling of not belonging, of futility, wherever I go: I pretend interest in what matters nothing to me, I bestir myself mechanically or out of charity, without ever being caught up, without ever being somewhere. What attracts me is elsewhere, and I don’t know what that elsewhere is." - E. M. Cioran

“Each generation raises monuments to the executioners of the one which preceded it.”

— E. M. Cioran in his essay on Napoleon, the executioner of the 18th century world. From “Ennui of Conquerors” in A Short History of Decay

Somebody's Cioran-posting IRL in urban Minneapolis. What does it mean?

"The only subversive mind is the one that questions the obligation to exist; all the others, the anarchist at the top of the list, compromise with the established order."

To get up in the morning, wash and then wait for some unforeseen variety of dread or depression.

"kendine dönmek, orada varlık kadar eski, daha da eski bir sessizlik bulmak."

[bocadosdefilosofia]

«Cuando la nada me invade, y siguiendo una fórmula oriental alcanzo la “vacuidad del vacío” suele sucederme que, aterrado por tal punto extremo, recaigo de nuevo en Dios, aunque no sea más que por el deseo de pisotear mis dudas, de contradecirme y, multiplicando mis estremecimientos, buscar en ellos un estimulante. La experiencia del vacío es la tentación mística del incrédulo, su posibilidad de oración, su momento de plenitud. En nuestros límites surge un dios o algo que ocupa su lugar.»

Sohbetin, konuşmanın yıkıcı gücü. Nedeni belli: düşünmek de, eylem de sessizlik ister.

“The importance of insomnia is so colossal that I am tempted to define man as the animal who cannot sleep"

~ E. M. Cioran

"Awakened men, the disabused, inevitably infirm, cannot be the focus of events precisely because they have glimpsed their inanity." E. M. Cioran, Ecartèlement, Ed. Gallimard, 1971

“When it comes to the sense of the self, the difference between those who can't sleep and those who can may be more important than any cultural differences. Emil Cioran thinks that ‘the importance of insomnia is so colossal’ that he's ‘tempted to define man as the animal who cannot sleep.’” —Galen Strawson, Things That Bother Me: Death, Freedon, the Self, Etc.
