-- Marguerite Duras

“Your sense of guilt will linger. It will always be part of you. but sharing it, allowing people to love you anyway, will do you the world of good. Secrets need an outlet if they are not to fester and become an unbearable burden.”
“Fashion is not a luxury, it's a right”
“Your whole appearance is a lie and it could never be true. And if you really loved yourself, then you would try and be you.”
“Of all the senseless babble I have ever had occasion to read, the demonstrations of these philosophers who undertake to tell us all about the nature of God would be the worst, if they were not surpassed by the still greater absurdities of the philosophers who try to prove that there is no God.”
“Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that?”

“I'm not going to give a courtesy gift to a person who's going to win, and I'm not going to give a sympathy gift to a person who's going to lose.”
“If I'm lucky, when I paint, first my patrons leave the room, then my dealers, and if I'm really lucky I leave too.”
“Don't fully trust anyone until he has stuck with a good cause which he saw was losing.”
