"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

"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"

"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
