• I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting; it destroys.

Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.

• I hadn’t seen any novel make the statement that entering the workforce was like entering the grave. That from then on, nothing happens and you have to pretend to be interested in your work. And, furthermore, that some people have a sex life and others don’t just because some are more attractive than others. I wanted to acknowledge that if people don’t have a sex life, it’s not for some moral reason, it’s just because they’re ugly. Once you’ve said it,
  it sounds obvious, but I wanted to say it.

  Michel Houellebecq
