More quotes by Michel Houellebecq

Image
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
Image
I think it's more difficult to live without a religion, definitely.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
I think that if writers don't speak about real life, it's because they don't know it.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
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
Image
Life is painful and disappointing. It is useless, therefore, to write new realistic novels. We generally know where we stand in relation to reality and don’t care to know any more.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
The triumph of vegetation is total.
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.

Beds last on an average much longer than marriages.

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
The press may hate me, and I know my battles with them are not over, but that doesn't matter.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
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
Image
Why am I popular? I don't know. Is it a mistake? I should think it's a mistake somewhere.
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.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
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.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
In my own writing, I think of myself as a realist who exaggerates a little.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
I'd say that the question whether love still exists plays the same role in my novels as the question of God's existence in Dostoevsky.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
The world outside had its own rules, and those rules were not human.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
In reality, the monotheist texts preach neither peace, love nor tolerance. They are texts of hate.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
Polemical debates happen all the time in France.
Michel Houellebecq
Image
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.
