“Ja sebe ne volim. Nisam baš naklonjen sebi, a još manje imam samopoštovanja. Osim toga, nisam si zanimljiv. Već dugo poznajem vlastite osnovne osobine i naposljetku su mi se zgadile. Kao adolescent i poslije mladić govorio sam o sebi, razmišljao o sebi, bio sam gotovo ispunjen vlastitom osobom…” quote by Michel Houellebecq

““Ja sebe ne volim. Nisam baš naklonjen sebi, a još manje imam samopoštovanja. Osim toga, nisam si zanimljiv. Već dugo poznajem vlastite osnovne osobine i naposljetku su mi se zgadile. Kao adolescent i poslije mladić govorio sam o sebi, razmišljao o sebi, bio sam gotovo ispunjen vlastitom osobom. Više to ne činim. Više mi nisu bliske vlastite misli pa se smrznem od dosade pri pomisli da ispričam kakvu vlastitu dogodovštinu. Kad baš moram, lažem.””

Michel Houellebecq
