In my own writing, I think of myself as a realist who exaggerates a little.
From Michel Houellebecq

Active people don't change the world profoundly; ideas do. Napoleon is less important in world history than Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
You can't be a crazy rebel in the face of death, it's not a fitting attitude.
I prefer reading to writing. Reading changes your world view. Writing changes absolutely nothing. Except, of course, when it makes you rich.
The most stupid religion is Islam.
