― Michel Houellebecq, Aniquilación

“Some Mondays at the very end of November or at the beginning of December one has, especially if one is single, the feeling of being sentenced to death.”

“The Monarch program is a mind control program. It is named after the Monarch butterfly, because, just as the butterfly changes its form – metamorphoses – so the controllers ‘trance-form’ the mind and personality of their subjects. Monarch recruits its victims when they are children, usually with the collusion of their parents.”

“You don’t understand,’ Franz said patiently. ‘It’s not a particular art form, or manner, that interests me, it’s a personality, a view of the artistic gesture, of its situation in society. If you came here tomorrow with a simple sheet of paper, torn from a spiral notebook, on which you’d written “I don’t even know if I want to continue with art at all”, I would exhibit this sheet without hesitation. Yet I’m not an intellectual. But you interest me.”
― Michel Houellebecq, The Map and the Territory
