Quotations from *Platform*
Michel Houellebecq
1958- French
translated by Frank Wynne

It is in our relations with other people that we gain a sense of ourselves; it’s that, pretty much, that makes relations with other people unbearable.
—Michel Houellebecq, Platform

The things people do, the things they are prepared to endure...there was nothing to be made of all this, no overall conclusion, no meaning.
—Michel Houellebecq, Platform
