You get used to terrorist attacks. France will hold on. The French will hold on, without even needing a sursaut national, a national pushback reflex. They'll hold on because there's no other way, and because you get used to everything. No human force, not even fear, is stronger than habit.

Michel Houellebecq

I've lived so little that I tend to imagine I'm not going to die; it seems improbable that human existence can be reduced to so little; one imagines, in spite of oneself, that sooner or later something is bound to happen. A big mistake. A life can just as well be both empty and short. The days slip by indifferently, leaving neither trace nor memory; and then all of a sudden they stop.

Michel Houellebecq

The world outside had its own rules, and those rules were not human.
