Quotes from the same author

The absence of the will to live is, alas, not sufficient to make one want to die.
 Michel Houellebecq
I prefer reading to writing. Reading changes your world view. Writing changes absolutely nothing. Except, of course, when it makes you rich.
 Michel Houellebecq

Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never. Some make love with dozens of women, others with none.

 Michel Houellebecq
