“I feel a sadness I expected and which comes only from myself. I say I’ve always been sad. That I can see the same sadness in photos of myself when I was small. That today, recognizing it as the sadness I’ve always had, I could almost call it by my own name, it’s so like me.”
― Marguerite Duras, The Lover

“Even so you have managed to live that love in the only way possible for you. Losing it before it happened.”
― Marguerite Duras, The Malady of Death
