Cioran Feels Thread

>Once I thought I could crush space with a blow of my fist, play with the stars, halt time or wield it according to my whim. The great captains seemed to me the great cowards, the poets, wretched stammerers; not knowing the resistance things, men, and words offer us, and supposing I felt more than the universe allowed, I gave myself up to a suspect infinity, to a cosmogony resulting from a puberty unfit to end itself...How easy it is to believe yourself to be a god by the heart, and how hard it is to be one by the mind! And with how many illusions I must have been born in order to be able to lose one every day! Life is a miracle bitterness destroys.

And he doesn't intend to. He realised that nihilistic philosophy isn't worth persuing professionally, so he devoted his life to capturing the absurdity of the nihilistic experience instead. That's why his writings are so ironic, because he knows how ridiculous it is to be a nihilist, even though it's true.

pic related, it's the most accurate representation of Cioran's work that I know
