“When it's in a book I don't think it'll hurt any more ... exist any more. One of the things writing does is wipe things out. Replace them.”
― Marguerite Duras, "The Lover"
“The solitude of writing is a solitude without which writing could not be produced, or would crumble, drained bloodless by the search for something else to write.”
― Marguerite Duras, "Writing"
