More From Michel Houellebecq
Of Course, We Can Distinguish Between Males And Females; We Can Also, If We Choose, Distinguish Between Different Age Categories; But Any More Advanced Distinction Comes Close To Pedantry, Probably A Result Of Boredom. A Creature That Is Bored Elaborates Distinctions And Hierarchies. According To Hutchinson And Rawlins, The Development Of Systems Of Hierarchical Dominance Within Animal Societies Does Not Correspond To Any Practical Necessity, Nor To Any Selective Advantage; It Simply Constitutes A Means Of Combating The Crushing Boredom Of Life In The Heart Of Nature.

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.

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.

Last Election Shows That There's A Big Discrepancy Between Two Parts Of The Country. That Discrepancy Also Exists In France, But We've Had The National Front For Forty Years, And It Only Took Trump One Year To Get Elected. Very Fast. That's The Surprising Thing. In France We Thought Everybody Liked Obama, But Maybe The Media Were Lying. Maybe They Didn't.
