“The answer is not to make more humans. Once you believe this whole thing is ultimately pointless, it is ridiculous to generate more adversity-facing meaning seekers.”
David Benatar, Conversations about the Meaning of Life

“I see no value in my having been depressed…It is a dreadful scourge that has caused me terrible pain…it is a disease no question of that and one, which like all the others, demands to be understood and relieved. Yes, of course I have learned who my true friends are and who can stay by me in my worst times….it does help to know that there are others and that slowly people…are beginning to learn something about it. But it has been around an awfully long time, a lot of people are suffering and it is about bloody time we took it seriously.”
Anthony Clare, Depression and How to Survive It

Michel Houellebecq

Michel Houellebecq, Anéantir
