More Quotes from Marguerite Duras:
The best way to fill time is to waste it.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.
Marguerite Duras
A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others.
Marguerite Duras
The house a woman creates is a Utopia. She can't help it - can't help trying to interest her nearest and dearest not in happiness itself but in the search for it.
Marguerite Duras
To love one child and to love all children, whether living or dead somewhere these two loves come together. To love a no-good but humble punk and to love an honest man who believes himself to be an honest man somewhere these, too, come together.
Marguerite Duras
