No other human being, no woman, no poem or music, book or painting can replace alcohol in its power to give man the illusion of real creation.
Marguerite DurasThe words emerge from her body without her realizing it, as if she were being visited by the memory of a language long forsaken.
Marguerite DurasIt's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.
Marguerite DurasFrigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesnt desire the man offering himself to her. Its the desire of a woman for a man who hasnt yet come to her, whom she doesnt yet know. Shes faithful to this stranger even before she belongs to him. Frigidity is the non-desire for whatever is not him.
