Famous quotes by 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."

"The woman is the home. That's where she used to be, and that's where she still is. You might ask me, What if a man tries to be part of the home - will the woman let him? I answer yes. Because then he becomes one of the children."

"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."

"Before they're plumbers or writers or taxi drivers or unemployed or journalists, before everything else, men are men. Whether heterosexual or homosexual. The only difference is that some of them remind you of it as soon as you meet them, and others wait for a little while."

"You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable."

"Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable. 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. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees."

"Frigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesn't desire the man offering himself to her. It's the desire of a woman for a man who hasn't yet come to her, whom she doesn't yet know. She's faithful to this stranger even before she belongs to him. Frigidity is the non-desire for whatever is not him."

"It was the men I deceived the most that I loved the most."

"I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhood and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met."

"It's afterwards you realize that the feeling of happiness you had with a man didn't necessarily prove that you loved him"

"The best way to fill time is to waste it."

"In love there are no vacations. No such thing. Love has to be lived fully with its boredom and all that."

"It's afterwards you realize that the feeling of happiness you had with a man didn't necessarily prove that you loved him."

"Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable."

"I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate."

"I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met."

"Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day."

"Heterosexuality is dangerous. It tempts you to aim at a perfect duality of desire."

"It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs."
