Michel Houellebecq Quotes

Young Girls Today Were More Sensible, More Sophisticated. Nowadays They Worried More About Their Exam Results And Did Their Best To Ensure They Would Have A Decent Career. For Them, Going Out With Boys Was Simply A Game, A Distraction Based As Much As On Narcissism As On Sexual Pleasure. Later, They Would Try To Make A Good Marriage, Basing Their Decision On A Range Of Social And Professional Criteria As Well As Shared Interests And Tastes. Of Course, In Doing This, They Cut Themselves From Any Possibility Of Happiness - A Condition Indissociable From Traditional And Transient Emotions Which Are Incompatible With The Practice Of Reason - But In Doing So They Hoped To Escape The Moral And Emotional Suffering Which Had So Tortured Their Forebears.
