Quote

Love binds, and it binds forever. Good binds while evil unravels. Separation is another word for evil it is also another word for deceit.

Image
Active people don't change the world profoundly ideas do. Napoleon is less important in world history than Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Michel Houellebecq
Image
Not having anything around to read is dangerous: you have to content yourself with life itself, and that can lead you to take risks.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
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
Image
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.
