“We could have saved the world, we would have saved the world in the blink of an eye, in einem Augenblick, but we didn't, or I didn't, and love didn't triumph; I betrayed love, and often when I can't sleep, which is to say almost every night, I hear in my head the message on her answering machine, 'Hello, this is Kate, leave me a message,' and her voice was so fresh, like diving into a waterfall at the end of a dusty summer afternoon: you immediately felt washed of all dirt, discomfort and all evil.” — Michel Houllebecq
