Writing/Marguerite Duras

A: "Not like the vixen type of woman that makes all the men swoon, the type of women are lovable only when they create tragedy, and they are admirable in felony court."

B: "The truest thing between husbands and wives is betrayal; no couple, even the most beautiful, can inspire each other in love; and in adultery, the woman is excited by fear and sneakiness, and the man sees in it a more erotically arousing goal."

C: "The way to deal with men is to have to love them very, very much, or they become insufferable. I love men, I only love men. I can have 50 men at a time."

D: "Love doesn't exist, all there is between men and women is passion, and it is absolutely inappropriate, even pathetic, to find comfort in love, but then again, she thinks it is unthinkable to live without love, without a place for love in the heart, without a place for expectation."

E: "Any woman who is more mysterious than a man, more intelligent, more vivid, more fresh than a man, never wants to be a man."

F: "If a woman only has sex with the same man for the rest of her life, it's because she doesn't like sex. But having a love story once is more important and meaningful than getting laid forty-five times. "

G: "Homosexuality is a sure-fire disease like cancer."

H: "Prefer authors who have written only one novel. Favorite authors and works include the Bible, Mishley, Chateaubriand, Rousseau, Pascal, Renan's biography of Jesus, Princess Clive, Racine, Baudelaire, and don't think Sartre or Beauvoir are writers."

I: "A writer is insufferable, he kills and does bad things." It is non-existent. It has no center, no roads, no lines. There are large areas where everyone thinks there's someone there, when there's no one."
