Interview with E. M. Cioran, 1984.
You’ve said a number of times, as in Drawn and Quartered, that “we should change our name after each important experience.”
After certain experiences. We should change our names right away, but after there’s no point. Because you feel that you’re another individual, that in the end you’ve touched on something extraordinary, you’re not yourself anymore. So, another life has to be started. But, that’s an illusion too. It’s an impression of the moment.
