Quote by Marguerite Duras

“فبما إنّي كنتُ أكتب .. توجّب الحديث عن الكتب ، وهذا ما لا يتحمّله الرجال ، لا يتحمّلون امرأةً تكتب. إنّه أمرٌ لا يُطاق بالنسبة إلى الرجل ، شاقّ على الجميع”

“Dear Dick, I'm not sure I still want to fuck you. At least, not in the same way. Sylvère keeps talking about us disturbing your "fragility", but I'm not sure that I agree. There's nothing so remarkable in one more woman adoring you. It's a "problem" you're confronting all the time. I'm just a particularly annoying one, one who refuses to behave... And yet I feel this tenderness towards you, after all we've been through.”
