More quotes by 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
The press may hate me, and I know my battles with them are not over, but that doesn't matter.
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 most stupid religion is Islam.
Michel Houellebecq
Polemical debates happen all the time in France.
Michel Houellebecq
In my own writing, I think of myself as a realist who exaggerates a little.
Michel Houellebecq
If life is an illusion it's a pretty painful one.
Michel Houellebecq
I prefer reading to writing. Reading changes your world view. Writing changes absolutely nothing. Except, of course, when it makes you rich.
Michel Houellebecq
Beds last on an average much longer than marriages.
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
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
Anything can happen in life, especially nothing.
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 world outside had its own rules, and those rules were not human.
Michel Houellebecq
The triumph of vegetation is total.
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
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
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
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
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
