All Gall is Divided (French: Syllogismes de l'amertume, literally "Syllogisms of Bitterness") is a French philosophical book by Emil Cioran. Originally published in 1952, it was translated into English in 1999 by Richard Howard. The book consists of aphorisms and brief remarks on subjects such as religion, suicide, and literature.

All Gall is Divided was the second book to be written in French by the Romanian-born Cioran, after 1949's A Short History of Decay, and the first to contain aphorisms. Cioran claimed he adopted the aphorism because "explaining bores me terribly".^[1]
