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

Michel Houellebecq
About This Quote

The world outside had its own rules, and those rules were not human. The world is changing all the time. However, our hearts are still human. This means that we will always feel the same things about the world around us.

The way we live our lives will never change to accommodate others. We are creatures of our own experiences and will make the best of the realities of our world. That’s what makes us human.
