Life philosophy Quote by Emil Cioran
““Život nije otporan na veliku temperaturu. Zbog toga sam došao do zaključka da najuznemireniji ljudi, sa unutrašnjim dinamizmom dovedeni do paroksizma, koji ne mogu prihvatiti uobičajenu temperaturu, moraju propasti. To je aspekt životnog demonizma, ali i aspekt njegovog nedostatka; on objašnjava zašto je život privilegija mediokriteta. Samo mediokriteti žive na normalnoj temperaturi života; ostali se troše na temperaturama koje život ne podnosi, gde ne mogu da dišu, osim ako se nalaze jednom nogom s one strane života. Ne mogu doneti ništa na ovaj svijet, jer imam samo jedan metod: metod agonije...””
