“He says he’s lonely, horribly lonely because of this love he feels for her. She says she’s lonely too. She doesn’t say why.”
Marguerite Duras, The Lover

“Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.”
Marguerite Duras

“It’s not that you have to achieve anything, it’s that you have to get away from where you are.”
Marguerite Duras, The Lover

“You alone became the outer surface of my life, the side I never see, and you will be that, the unknown part of me, until I die.”
Marguerite Duras, Emily L.

Marguerite Duras
“Listen to me. I know something else. It will begin again. 200,000 dead and 80,000 wounded in nine seconds. Those are the official figures. It will begin again. It will be 10,000 degrees on the earth. Ten thousand suns, people will say. The asphalt will burn. Chaos will prevail. An entire city will be lifted off the ground, and fall back to earth in ashes…I meet you. I remember you. Who are you? You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. How could I know this city was tailor-made for love? How could I know you fit my body like a glove? I like you. How unlikely. I like you. How slow all of a sudden. How sweet. You cannot know. You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. I have time. Please, devour me. Deform me to the point of ugliness. Why not you?”
Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima mon amour
