Emil Cioran híres idézetei

„Az összes filozófus a világon együtt sem ér annyit, mint egy szent.”

„Az ember csak akkor teljesedik ki, ha megszűnik embernek lenni.”

„Csak azok a filozófusok érdekesek, akik abbahagyták a gondolkodást, és elkezdték keresni a boldogságot.”

„A filozófia ellenszert kínál a melankóliára. És sokan még mindig hisznek a filozófia mélységében!”

„Végül is, miért akarnának a hétköznapi emberek a végről elmélkedni, különösen, ha látjuk, milyen állapotban vannak azok, akik ezt teszik?”

„Azt szoktad mondani, hogy úgy kell élnünk, mintha soha nem halnánk meg. Nem tudtad, hogy mindenki így él, még a halál megszállottjai is?”

Emil Cioran Idézetek az emberekről

„Az ember: állat, aki látja magát élni.”

„Az embernek sosincsenek kétségei, miközben álmodik.”

„Elfogadom, hogy az utolsó ember legyek, ha embernek lenni azt jelenti, hogy hasonlítsak a többihez.”

„A filozófia túlságosan elviselhetetlen, s ez a legnagyobb hiányossága. Hiányzik belőle a pátosz, az alkohol, a szerelem. Mi a művész? Egy ember, aki mindent tud – de ezt nem tudatosítja. Hát a filozófus? Egy ember, aki a tudatossággal él, de nem tud semmit.”

Gondolatok alkonyában (Amurgul gândurilor)

„A filozófia túlságosan elviselhetetlen, s ez a legnagyobb hiányossága. Hiányzik belőle a pátosz, az alkohol, a szerelem. Mi a művész? Egy ember, aki mindent tud – de ezt nem tudatosítja. Hát a filozófus? Egy ember, aki a tudatossággal él, de nem tud semmit”

Emil Cioran idézetek

Emil Cioran idézet: „Lenni vagy nem lenni? Egyik sem!”

„Lenni vagy nem lenni? Egyik sem!”

„Illuzió nélkül nem létezik semmi.”

„Ne azért írj, hogy elmondj valamit, hanem azért, mert mondanivalód van.”

„Az egyedüllét nem arra tanít meg, hogy egyedül vagy, hanem arra, hogy az egyedüli.”

„Istennek egy kifogása van csupán, az, hogy nem létezik.”

„A Gonosz felvette az Idő álnevet… Az unalom betekintést ad az örökkévalóságba, mely nem a legyőzött idő, hanem csak annak romjai.”

Zuhanás az időben (La chute dans le temps, 1964)

„Vélemények: igen; meggyőződések: nem. Ezek az intellektuális büszkeség kiindulópontjai.”

„Ha egy pillanatra is láthatnánk magunk a másik szemével, egy pillanat alatt eltűnnénk.”

„Az illat egy virág történelme.”

„Nem én szenvedek a világban, hanem a világ szenved bennem.”

„A szerelem, szentség meg szexualitás.”

„Inkább az örök éj, mintsem egy fád nap, inkább a félhomály, mint az elmosódott fény.”

„Mindenki kalauzom, aki nálamnál is bolondabb.”

„Az élet legális abszurditás.”

„Nem éri meg, hogy öngyilkos légy, elkéstél már vele.”

„Egyértelmű, hogy Isten egy megoldás volt. És ennél jobbat soha nem is fogunk találni.”

„Egy pofon és egy sértés közül jobban viseljük a pofont.”

„Az antropológia az állattan és a pszichológia keveréke.”

„Csak az ellenségeinknek és néhány minket nem szerető barát számára létezünk, más senkinek.”

„A remény a rabszolgák erénye.”

„A benned lakozó semmin kívül semmi mást sem kell akarnod.”

„Az unalom: ok nélküli szenvedés.”

„Mire vársz, hogy feladhasd?”

„Amikor teljesen biztosan tudod, hogy minden valótlan, akkor nem értheted, miért kéne fáradoznod a bizonyítással.”

Emil Cioran: Idézetek angolul

“Heroes abound at the dawn of civilizations, during pre-Homeric and Gothic epochs, when people, not having yet experienced spiritual torture, satisfy their thirst for renunciation through a derivative: heroism.”

All Gall Is Divided (1952)

“A minimum of unconsciousness is necessary if one wants to stay inside history. To act is one thing; to know one is acting is another. When lucidity invests the action, insinuates itself into it, action is undone, and with it, prejudice, whose function consists, precisely, in subordinating, in enslaving consciousness to action. The man who unmasks his fictions renounces his own resources and, in a sense, himself. Consequently, he will accept other fictions which will deny him, since they will not have cropped up from his own depths. No man concerned with his equilibrium may exceed a certain degree of lucidity and analysis.”

“Compared to the refined culture of sclerotic forms and frames, which mask everything, the lyrical mode is utterly barbarian in its expression. Its value resides precisely in its savage quality: it is only blood, sincerity, and fire.”

On the Heights of Despair (1934)

“There exists, I grant you, a clinical depression, upon which certain remedies occasionally have effect; but there exists another kind, a melancholy underlying our very outbursts of gaiety and accompanying us everywhere, without leaving us alone for a single moment. And there is nothing that can rid us of this lethal omnipresence: the self forever confronting itself.”

On the Heights of Despair (1934)

“If we would regain our freedom, we must shake off the burden of sensation, no longer react to the world by our senses, break our bonds. For all sensation is a bond, pleasure as much as pain, joy as much as misery. The only free mind is the one that, pure of all intimacy with beings or objects, plies its own vacuity.”

“It is trifling to believe in what you do or in what others do. You should avoid simulacra and even "realities"; you should take up a position external to everything and everyone, drive off or grind down your appetites, live, according to a Hindu adage, with as few desires as a "solitary elephant.”

The Trouble With Being Born (1973)

“It is difficult, it is impossible to believe that the Good Lord—“Our Father”—had a hand in the scandal of creation. Everything suggests that He took no part in it, that it proceeds from a god without scruples, a feculent god. Goodness does not create, lacking imagination; it takes imagination to put together a world, however botched. At the very least, there must be a mixture of good and evil in order to produce an action or a work.”

“This is how I recognize an authentic poet: by frequenting him, living a long time in the intimacy of his work, something changes in myself, not so much my inclinations or my tastes as my very blood, as if a subtle disease had been injected to alter its course, its density and nature. To live around a true poet is to feel your blood run thin, to dream a paradise of anemia, and to hear, in your veins, the rustle of tears.”

“The reaction against your own thought in itself lends life to thought. How this reaction is born is hard to describe, because it identifies with the very rare intellectual tragedies.”

Help us translate this quote

The tension, the degree and level of intensity of a thought proceeds from its internal antinomies, which in turn are derived from the unsolvable contradictions of a soul. Thought cannot solve the contradictions of the soul. As far as linear thinking is concerned, thoughts mirror themselves in other thoughts, instead of mirroring a destiny.
The Book of Delusions (1936)

“We say: he has no talent, only tone. But tone is precisely what cannot be invented — we're born with it. Tone is an inherited grace, the privilege some of us have of making our organic pulsations felt — tone is more than talent, it is its essence.”
