Cioran 4.

When men can no longer bear the monotony and the ba-
nality of ordinary existence, they will find in each experience of
the absolute an opportunity to commit suicide. The impossibility
of surviving such extraordinary states of exaltation will destroy
existence. No one will then doubt that it is possible to long for
death after having listened to certain symphonies or admired a
unique landscape. 

Animal banished from life, man's condition is tragic, for he
no longer finds fulfillment in life's simple values. For animals, life
is all there is; for man, life is a question mark. An irreversible
question mark, for man has never found, nor will ever find, any
answers. Life not only has no meaning; it can never have one.

A little knowledge is delightful; a lot, disgusting. The more

you know, the less you want to know.
