    • 1994, Michel Houellebecq, Extension du domaine de la lutte:
      On était une bonne trentaine, rien que des cadres moyens âgés de vint-cinq à quarante ans. À un moment donné il y a une connasse qui a commencé à se déshabiller. Ella a ôté son T-shirt, puis son soutien-gorge, puis sa jupe, tout ça en faisant des mines incroyables.
      There were a good thirty of us, all middle-ranking executives aged between twenty-five and forty. At one point, some stupid bitch started undressing. She took off her T-shirt, then her bra, then her skirt, all while pulling the most incredible faces.
