Emil Cioran najznámejšie citáty

„Ani všetci filozofi sveta spolu nemajú takú hodnotu ako jeden svätec.“

„Keď absolútne viete, že nič nie je skutočné, nechápete, prečo by ste si mali vynakladať námahu na to, aby ste to dokazovali.“

„Na čo ešte čakáte, keď sa chcete vzdať?“

„Človek sa cíti byť naplnený až vtedy, keď prestane byť človekom.“

„Jediní zaujímaví filozofi sú tí, ktorí prestali myslieť a začali hľadať šťastie.“

„Hovorieval si, že musíme žiť, akoby sme nikdy nemali zomrieť. - Nevedel si, že tak žijú všetci, vrátane tých, ktorí sú posadnutí smrťou?“

Emil Cioran Citáty o šťastí

„Smútok: apetít, ktorý nenasýti žiadne nešťastie.“

„Nato, aby sme boli šťastní, museli by sme stále mať v duši obraz možných nešťastí, ktorým sme unikli.“

„V Európe sa šťastie končí vo Viedni. Za ňou je odjakživa kliatba na kliatbe.“

Emil Cioran citáty a výroky

„Raj bol neznesiteľný, ináč by sa bol prvý človek s ním uspokojil.“

„Filozofická móda je dakedy podobná gastronomickej: niektorej myšlienke nemožno odolať tak ako dobrému jedlu.“

„Jediná služba, ktorú môžeme žiadať od druhých je, aby neuhádli, nakoľko sme úbohí.“

„Každá forma chvatu, aj smerom k dobrému, prezrádza určitú duševnú poruchu.“

„Najväčší strach mám z toho, že ma porozumejú.“

„S Bohom sa nezaoberáme beztrestne.“

„Skutočnosť, že žijem, dokazuje, že svet nemá žiadny zmysel.“

„Staroba je sebakritika prírody.“

„Ten, kto má strach pred smiešnosťou, nedotiahne to veľmi ďaleko, ani v dobrom, ani v zlom.“

„Všetci sme komedianti: prežijeme naše problémy.“

„Filozofia ponúka liek proti melanchólii. A mnohí stále veria v hĺbku filozofie!“

„Napokon, prečo by mali obyčajní ľudia chcieť uvažovať o konci, najmä keď vidíme, v akom stave sú tí, ktorí o ňom uvažujú?“

Emil Cioran: Citáty v angličtine

“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.”

Tears and Saints (1937)

“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.”
