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
The Americans are completely stupid. The intellectual level in any single European country is higher than in America.
Michel Houellebecq
Anything can happen in life, especially nothing.
Michel Houellebecq
As a teenager, Michel believed that suffering conferred dignity on a person. Now he had to admit that he had been wrong. What conferred dignity on people was television.
Michel Houellebecq
Depressive lucidity, usually described as a radical withdrawal from ordinary human concerns, generally manifests itself by a profound indifference to things which are genuinely of minor interest. Thus it is possible to imagine a depressed lover, while the idea of a depressed patriot seems frankly inconceivable.
Michel Houellebecq
The press may hate me, and I know my battles with them are not over, but that doesn't matter.
Michel Houellebecq
I think that if writers don't speak about real life, it's because they don't know it.
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
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
Beds last on an average much longer than marriages.
Michel Houellebecq
In my own writing, I think of myself as a realist who exaggerates a little.
Michel Houellebecq
Polemical debates happen all the time in France.
Michel Houellebecq
In reality, the monotheist texts preach neither peace, love nor tolerance. They are texts of hate.
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 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
The world outside had its own rules, and those rules were not human.
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
Active people don't change the world profoundly ideas do. Napoleon is less important in world history than Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Michel Houellebecq
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
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.
