"…suppose we do not want to be free of suffering nor to conquer our contradictions and conflicts – what if we prefer the nuances of the incomplete and an effective dialectic to the evenness of a sublime impasse? Salvation ends everything; and ends us. Who, once saved, dares still call himself alive? We really live only by the refusal to be delivered from suffering and by a kind of religious temptation of irreligiosity."
— Emil Cioran - A Short History of Decay
