ITT: Quotes you love by authors you hate

[Anonymous No.6608573]

Post quotes you love by authors you can't stomach.

I start:

“Love binds, and it binds forever. Good binds while evil unravels. Separation is another word for evil; it is also another word for deceit.”
― Michel Houellebecq

I personally can't take Houellebecq seriously, with all that cynicism and edginess, and his stories are always about himself lamenting the fact that he can't have sex with hot girls, and the fact that he has sex as his only reason to live.

[Anonymous No.6608599]

Houellebecq has undoubtedly had sex with a lot of hot girls. He's a fiction writer, not a memoirist, and his stories tend to be microcosmic representations of his wider sociological observations.

“The terrible predicament of a beautiful girl is that only an experienced womanizer, someone cynical and without scruple, feels up to the challenge. More often than not, she will lose her virginity to some filthy lowlife in what proves to be the first step in an irrevocable decline.”

Ppl relate to The Alchemist too. Or they think they do. The void observations and indulgences are porn for the nihilistic minded. I am one of those, and I liked the indulgent part of it. The observations are incredibly juvenile though, his economic ones on particular are like copy paste out of The Economist but not even close to that quality. It's like the exposition Camus does in The Stranger -- any person with reasonable years under his belt and is even remotely self-conscious of life could AND SHOULDN'T make.

It's funny that you guys are speaking about Coelho because I once saw a quote that I really liked from him (although I think he is p shitty overrall). Can't remember what to search though.

But idk, I guess everyone gotta say something good at least once. Like, just once is not that hard, even for people who are total hacks.

[Anonymous No.6608825]

Setting some things straight here;

Houellebeqc is an edgy nihilist who lacks the sense of marketing Palahniuk has to put at least what resembles a marketable ending to his stories, so he writes about the same repetitive themes as if they were a basis for a decent line of philosophies, when in fact everything is reduced to pessimist thoughts and sexual musings, as the protagonists just hangs there thinking about sex and masturbating, not very different than what any random virgin in a friday night would write about. If he's drowing in pussy or not, that's because of his acclaim, and wherever his acclaim goes, people calling him islamophopbic go right after him.

Paulo Coelho is a hack who uses his name as some kind of brand, said "Ulysses" was just style without content, when his writings are as devoid of decent meaning as a novel written by a respected famous author can be. The man is so desensitized of his own persona's value he goes around saying he had gay sex as the passive three different times to know if he liked it.

I'm not saying you can't be a pretentious fuck and be good. You can also be obsessed with sex and be good, which Joyce and Bukowski were, but at least be self-aware.

[Anonymous No.6608838]

>>6608767

Wetlands is terrible. Just a bunch of gross-outs and sexual scenes put there to attract the media's attention as a daring novel, when in fact the character that has the obsessions about said things comes up with the lamest excuse for doing them possible in the fucking world, which comes as some kind of bullshit white-people problems.

I mean, Patrick Bateman was a complete psycho and several passages of the book are hard to read, which gave it a lot of media, but at least the character is written in an unapologetic way, without justifications, and the whole collective of his insanity elements work well inside of him.
