Just finished picrelated, holy shit is it ever bleak. It's not even really philosophy, just smart fucking aphorisms that cut to the quick of the endless futility of existence. Recommended as fuck

Hegel didn't agree aparrently Adorno criticizes him for dialectics not allowing the aphoristic style.

well of course it's funny, but only in the width of the gap between Cioran's view of meaningless existence and the pathetically perpetuated false principles humanity inevitably clings to

It's sad to see a grown man never overcome his 14 year old teen angst.

>'I don’t understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn’t it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?'

>"If I were to be totally sincere, I would say that I do not know why I live and why I do not stop living. The answer probably lies in the irrational character of life which maintains itself without reason."

>I cannot contribute anything to this world because I only have one method: agony.

>I am displeased with everything.

pretty easy to cherrypick goodreads quotes to confirm your idiocy and pigeonhole Cioran instead of actually reading him. But you don't actually read, do you anon?
