Mijn vader is een jaar geleden gestorven. Ik geloof niet in de theorie dat je pas echt volwassen wordt als je ouders sterven; echt volwassen word je nooit. (Houellebecq, 2001)
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. there is another theory which states that this has already happened.
