Emil M. CioranThe fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live-moreover, the only one.
About This Quote
This quote is a paraphrasing of Albert Camus’ famous line, “The only real treasure is life. And the only way to enjoy life is to live it to the fullest.” The "meaning" that Camus wants us to see is the meaning that each individual creates for himself through his actions. This is what makes us happy.
