Morrissey
“I am human and I need to be loved,
just like everybody else does.”
Morrissey

Margaret Thatcher
“I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.”
Margaret Thatcher

Michel Houellebecq
“I am persuaded that feminism is not at the root of political correctness. The actual source is much nastier and dares not speak its name, which is simply hatred for old people. The question of domination between men and women is relatively secondary—important but still secondary—compared to what I tried to capture in this novel, which is that we are now trapped in a world of kids. Old kids. The disappearance of patrimonial transmission means that an old guy today is just a useless ruin. The thing we value most of all is youth, which means that life automatically becomes depressing, because life consists, on the whole, of getting old.”
Michel Houellebecq

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Margaret Thatcher

Michel Houellebecq
“Not having anything around to read is dangerous: you have to content yourself with life itself, and that can lead you to take risks.”
Michel Houellebecq, Platform
