Emile M. Cioran Flesh Quotations

Consciousness is much more than the thorn, it is the dagger in the flesh.

The mind is the result of the torments the flesh undergoes or inflicts upon itself.

The source of our actions resides in an unconscious propensity to regard ourselves as the center, the cause, and the conclusion of time. Our reflexes and our pride transform into a planet the parcel of flesh and consciousness we are.
