Cioran Quote For The Day
Jul 15th
Only music can create an indestructible complicity between two persons. A passion is perishable, it decays, like everything that partakes of life, whereas music is of an essence superior to life and, of course to death. -From Fractures

Cioran Quote For The Day
Jul 14th
Since I read a lot of Cioran (AGAIN!), when I post I should offer a daily quote. Such actions prove popular. HA! My enjoyment is all that matters.
There exists an undeniable pleasure in knowing everything you do has no real basis, that whether or not you commit an action is a matter of indifference. The fact nonetheless remains that in our daily gestures we compromise with Vacuity – that is, we turn and turn about, and occasionally, at the same time, we take the world as real and unreal. We mingle pure truths and sordid truths and this amalgam, the thinker’s disgrace, is the living man’s revenge. – From Fractures.
