What is the relationship between E.M. Cioran and Marilyn Monroe?
I ask because I found this photo on several of the Multimedia pages of the Project Cioran web site:

Nice to see you today!

2. Thanks, and thanks for the suggestion.
Maybe the site's art director just wanted to use that pic, too.

I should email and ask, I guess.

3. from "On the Heights of Despair"
Everything is possible and yet nothing is. All is permitted and yet again, nothing. No matter which way we go, it is no better than any other. It is all the same whether you achieve something or not, have faith or not, ... whether you cry or remain silent. There is an explanation for everything, and yet there is none. Everything is both real and unreal, normal and absurd, splendid and insipid. There is nothing worth more than something else, nor any idea better than another. Why grow sad from one’s sadness and delight in one’s joy? ... Love your unhappiness and hate your happiness. Mix everything up. ... All gain is a loss, and all loss is a gain. Why always expect a definite stance, clear ideas, meaningful words?

(Cioran, 1992, p. 116)
