Cioran, Bach and God

[sawyl]

After a discussion on negativity and nihilism, doctor_squale put me on to the philosophy of Emil Cioran. Already impressed by his gloomy taken on things, I particularly liked these two quotes on Bach and God:

without Bach, God would be a complete second rate figure

And:

Bach's music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe can not be regarded a complete failure

Both claims which seem to me to be completely indisputable...
