Text Quotes
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 Quotes) There is no point in asking me general questions because I am always changing my mind  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) I tend to think that good and evil exist and that the quantity in each of us is unchangeable. The moral character of people is set, fixed until death  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) I prefer reading to writing. Reading changes your world view. Writing changes absolutely nothing. Except, of course, when it makes you rich  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) I don't like this world. I definitely do not like it. The society in which I live disgusts me; advertising sickens me; computers make me puke  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) But it remains the case that, on the level of consumption, the preeminence of the twentieth century was indisputable: nothing  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) In order to pass the time I told him the story of the German who ate the other German whom he'd met on the internet  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) I spent whole afternoons at Bon Marché looking at pullovers, there was no sense in going on like that  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) The dream of all men is to meet little sluts who are innocent but ready for all forms of depravity - which is what, more or less, all teenage girls are  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) Men live alongside one another like cattle; it is a miracle if once in a while they manage to share a bottle of booze  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) In my life, I had known suffering, oppression, anxiety; I had never known boredom. I could see no objection to the endless, imbecile repetition of sameness  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) It's perfectly possible to live without expecting anything of life; in fact, it's the most common way  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) On beach holidays, as perhaps in life more generally, the only truly enjoyable time of the day is breakfast  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) 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 Quotes) The absence of the will to live is, alas, not sufficient to make one want to die  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) An entire life spent reading would have fulfilled my every desire; I already knew that at the age of seven. The texture of the world is painful, inadequate; unalterable, or so it seems to me. Really, I believe that an entire life spent reading would have suited me best. Such a life has not been granted me  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) I’ve lived so little that I tend to imagine I’m not going to die; it seems improbable that human existence can be reduced to so little; one imagines, in spite of oneself, that sooner or later something is bound to happen. A big mistake. A life can just as well be both empty and short. The days slip by indifferently, leaving neither trace nor memory; and then all of a sudden they stop  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) Those who love life do not read. Nor do they go to the movies, actually. No matter what might be said, access to the artistic universe is more or less entirely the preserve of those who are a little fed up with the world  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) It’s true this world our breathing laboured inspires nothing more than obvious disgust a desire to flee without our share and no longer read the headlines we long to return to our ancestral home where our forebears once lived under an angel’s wing we long to find that strange morality which sanctified life to the end we crave something like loyalty like the embrace of mild addictions something that transcends yet contains life we cannot live far from eternity  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) Tenderness is a deeper instinct than seduction, which is why it is so hard to give up hope  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) The terrible predicament of a beautiful girl is that only an experienced womanizer, someone cynical and without scruple, feels up to the challenge. More often than not, she will lose her virginity to some filthy lowlife in what proves to be the first step in an irrevocable decline  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) When we think about the present, we veer wildly between the belief in chance and the evidence in favour of determinism. When we think about the past, however, it seems obvious that everything happened in the way that it was intended  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) It’s a curious idea to reproduce when you don’t even like life  (Michel Houellebecq Quotes) 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 Quotes)
