Now abideth beauty, truth, and intensity; but the greatest of these is intensity.
Michel HouellebecqIn reality, the monotheist texts preach neither peace, love nor tolerance. They are texts of hate.
Michel HouellebecqWithout beauty a girl is unhappy because she has missed her chance to be loved. People do not jeer at her, they are not cruel to her, but it is as if she were invisible, no eyes follow her as she walks. People feel uncomfortable when they are with her. They find it easier to ignore her. A girl who is exceptionally beautiful, on the other hand, who has something which too far surpasses the customary seductive freshness of adolescence, appears somehow unreal. Great beauty seems invariably to portend some tragic fate.
Michel HouellebecqThe absence of the will to live is, alas, not sufficient to make one want to die.
