More quotes by Michel Houellebecq
I am for the muscles. I would like to have a lot of muscles, because women like it. I'm for bodybuilding, but it's very exhausting.
Michel Houellebecq
Love binds, and it binds forever. Good binds while evil unravels. Separation is another word for evil it is also another word for deceit.
Michel Houellebecq
Anything can happen in life, especially nothing.
Michel Houellebecq
I think that if writers don't speak about real life, it's because they don't know it.
Michel Houellebecq
Beds last on an average much longer than marriages.
Michel Houellebecq
I tend to think that good and evil exist and that the quantity in each of us is unchangeable. The moral character of people is set, fixed until death.
Michel Houellebecq
A reactionary is someone who wants to return to a previous state - that's never a possibility in my books. For me, everything's irreversible in the life of a society, as well as an individual's.
Michel Houellebecq
Rumor had it that he was homosexual in reality, in recent years, he was simply a garden-variety alcoholic.
Michel Houellebecq
In reality, the monotheist texts preach neither peace, love nor tolerance. They are texts of hate.
Michel Houellebecq
Why am I popular? I don't know. Is it a mistake? I should think it's a mistake somewhere.
Michel Houellebecq
The most stupid religion is Islam.
Michel Houellebecq
Islam is a dangerous religion.
Michel Houellebecq
I feel as if things are falling apart within me, like so many glass partitions shattering. I walk from place to place in the grip of a fury, needing to act, yet can do nothing about it because any attempt seems doomed in advance. Failure, everywhere failure. Only suicide hovers above me, gleaming and inaccessible.
Michel Houellebecq
Using a big word like 'plagiarism'... always causes some damage. It will always do lasting damage, like accusations of racism.
Michel Houellebecq
I think it's more difficult to live without a religion, definitely.
Michel Houellebecq
The press may hate me, and I know my battles with them are not over, but that doesn't matter.
Michel Houellebecq
When you read the Koran, you give up. At least the Bible is very beautiful because Jews have an extraordinary literary talent.
Michel Houellebecq
To increase desires to an unbearable level whilst making the fulfillment of them more and more inaccessible: this was the single principle upon which Western society was based.
Michel Houellebecq
Polemical debates happen all the time in France.
Michel Houellebecq
People are suspicious of single men on vacation, after they get to a certain age: they assume that they're selfish, and probably a bit pervy. I can't say they're wrong.
Michel Houellebecq
