Knowledge, having irritated and stimulated our appetite for power, will lead us inexorably to our ruin.

I have always lived with the awareness of the impossibility of living. And what has made existence endurable to me is my curiosity as to how I would get from one minute, one day, one year to the next.
Emile Cioran
Life is nothing death, everything. Yet there is nothing which is death, independent of life. It is precisely this absence of autonomous, distinct reality which makes death universal it has no realm of its own, it is omnipresent, like everything which lacks identity, limit, and bearing an indecent infinitude.
Emile Cioran

Emile Cioran
