The arrival in Paris, as grim as ever. The leprous façades of the Pont Cardinet flats, behind which one invariably imagines retired folk agonizing alongside their cat Poucette which is eating up half their pension with its Friskies. Those weird metal structures that indecently mount each other to form a grid of overhead wires. And the inevitable advertising hoardings flashing by, gaudy and repellent. ‘A gay and changing spectacle on the walls.’ Bullshit. Pure fucking bullshit.

Irony won't save you from anything; humour doesn't do anything at all. You can look at life ironically for years, maybe decades; there are people who seem to go through most of their lives seeing the funny side, but in the end, life always breaks your heart. Doesn't matter how brave you are, or how reserved, or how much you've developed a sense of humour, you still end up with your heart broken. That's when you stop laughing.
Michel HouellebecqThe story of a life can be as long or as short as the teller wishes. Whether the life is tragic or enlightened, the classic gravestone inscription marking simply the dates of birth and death has, in its brevity, much to recommend it.
Michel HouellebecqAs soon as the genome had been cmpletely decoded (which would be in a matter of months) humanity would have complete control of its evolution; when that happened sexuality would be seen for what it really was: a useless, dangerous, and regressive function.
Michel HouellebecqThere is no endless silence of infinite space, for in reality there is no space, no silence and no void.
Michel HouellebecqЧто бы там ни было, любовь существует, раз мы можем видеть ее последствия.
Michel HouellebecqIn any event people rarely see each other again
these days, even in cases where the relationship begins in an atmosphere of
enthusiasm. Sometimes breathless conversations take place, touching on the general
aspects of life; sometimes, too, a carnal embrace comes about. Sure, you exchange
telephone numbers but, generally speaking, you rarely call again. And even when
you do call and meet up, disillusionment and disenchantment rapidly take over from
the initial enthusiasm. Believe me, I know life; it's all perfectly cut and dried.
საინტერესოა, როდესაც სხვები შენზე ლაპარაკობენ, მით უმეტეს, თუ ისინი შენს იქ ყოფნას ვერც ამჩნევენ. ის კი არა და, შეიძლება საკუთარ არსებობაში დაეჭვდე. ამას კი თავისი ხიბლი აქვს.
Michel HouellebecqLa difficulté, c'est qu'il ne suffit pas exactement de vivre selon la règle. En effet vous parvenez (parfois de justesse, d'extrême justesse, mais dans l'ensemble vous y parvenez) à vivre selon la règle. Vos feuilles d'imposition sont à jour. Vos factures, payées à la bonne date. Vous ne vous déplacez jamais sans carte d'identité (et la petite pochette spéciale pour la carte bleue!..).
Pourtant, vous n'avez pas d'amis.
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.
