And once again I had recognized the taste of the crumb of madeleine soaked in her decoction of lime-flowers which my aunt used to give me (although I did not yet know and must long postpone the discovery of why this memory made me so happy), immediately the old gray house upon the street, where her room was, rose up like the scenery of a theater.
— Картина... - каза замислено Уелбек. - Във всеки случай разполагам с достатъчно стени, където да я окача. Онова, с което действително разполагам в този живот, са стените.
He asked himself... whether it was not outrageous for society to treat thus precisely those of its members who were the least well endowed in the division of goods made by chance, and consequently the most deserving of consideration.
Предната вечер Уелбек беше споделил, че е невъзможно да се напише роман поради същата причина, поради която е невъзможно и да се живее, и тя се крие в натрупването на тежести. Всички теории за свободата, от Жид до Сартр, са основани върху иморализми, формулирани от освободени от каквато и да било отговорност ергени.

Човек може да работи в усамотение в продължение на години, впрочем това е единственият начин, ако иска действително да свърши някаква работа; идва обаче момент, когато го обзема желание да покаже плодовете на своя труд пред света не толкова за да бъде оценен, колкото да получи доказателство, че тези плодове съществуват и дори че самият той съществува; в недрата на един обществен вид индивидуалността не е нищо друго освен краткотрайна фикция.
