More From Marguerite Duras
- "Alcohol doesn’t console, it doesn’t fill up anyone’s psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn’t comfort man. On the contrary, it encourages him in his folly, it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny."
- "It was the men I deceived the most that I loved the most."
- "It’s afterwards you realize that the feeling of happiness you had with a man didn’t necessarily prove that you loved him."
