More quotes by Emil Cioran
He who has never envied the vegetable has missed the human drama.
Love, a tacit agreement between two unhappy parties to overestimate each other.
It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
