The press may hate me, and I know my battles with them are not over, but that doesn't matter.

Michel Houellebecq
Image
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
Image
Using a big word like 'plagiarism'... always causes some damage. It will always do lasting damage, like accusations of racism.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
The most stupid religion is Islam.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
Why am I popular? I don't know. Is it a mistake? I should think it's a mistake somewhere.

Anything can happen in life, especially nothing.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
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
Image
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.

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.
