Emile Cioran

"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are."

"It's not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late."

"The obsession with suicide is characteristic of the man who can neither live nor die, and whose attention never swerves from this double impossibility."

Emile Cioran (8 April 1911 - 20 June 1995)
A Romanian writer who spent most his life in Paris writing 'a philosophical romance on modern themes of alienation, absurdity, boredom, futility, decay, the tyranny of history, the vulgarities of change, awareness as a agony, reason as disease.'
