The only subversive mind is the one which questions the
obligation to exist; all the others, the anarchist at the head
of the list, compromise with the established order.
E.M. Cioran (The New Gods)
Some people maintain that the fear of death does not have a deeper justification, because as long as there is an I there is no death, and once dead there is no I any longer. These people have forgotten about the very strange phenomenon of gradual agony. What comfort does this artificial distinction between the I and death offer a man who has a strong premonition of death? What meaning can logical argument or subtle thought have for someone deeply imbued with a feeling of the irrevocable? All attempts to bring existential questions onto a logical plane are null
and void.
E.M. Cioran (On the Heights of Despair)
