On Sunday morning I went out for a while in the neighbourhood I bought some raisin bread. The day was warm but a little sad, as Sundays often are in Paris, especially when one doesn't believe in God.

More quotes by 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
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
The Americans are completely stupid. The intellectual level in any single European country is higher than in America.
Michel Houellebecq
The most stupid religion is Islam.
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
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
Using a big word like 'plagiarism'... always causes some damage. It will always do lasting damage, like accusations of racism.
Michel Houellebecq
The world outside had its own rules, and those rules were not human.
Michel Houellebecq
The great advantage of a novel is you can put in whatever comes into your head - it has the same shape as the human brain.
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
The triumph of vegetation is total.
Michel Houellebecq
Polemical debates happen all the time in France.
Michel Houellebecq
Adolescence is not only an important period in life, but that it is the only period where one may speak of life in the full sense of the word.
Michel Houellebecq
Anything can happen in life, especially nothing.
Michel Houellebecq
I admit that invective is one of my pleasures. This only brings me problems in life, but that's it. I attack, I insult. I have a gift for that, for insults, for provocation. So I am tempted to use it.
Michel Houellebecq
In my own writing, I think of myself as a realist who exaggerates a little.
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
I think that if writers don't speak about real life, it's because they don't know it.
Michel Houellebecq
Active people don't change the world profoundly ideas do. Napoleon is less important in world history than Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
