Cioran

We dislike following, or leading, to its conclusion a depressing train of thought, however unassailable; we resist it just when it affects our entrails, at the point where it becomes malaise, truth and disaster of the flesh. -- No sermon of the Buddha, no page of Schopenhauer fails to turn my stomach...
I think we find here one of the origins of Nietzsche's philosophy of health.

Emil Cioran site:

"a philosophical romance on modern themes of alienation, absurdity, boredom, futility, decay, the tyranny of history, the vulgarities of change, awareness as a agony, reason as disease."
