The words emerge from her body without her realizing it, as if she were being visited by the memory of a language long forsaken.

Marguerite Duras

The outrage was on the scale of God. My younger brother was immortal and they hadn't noticed. Immortality had been concealed in my brother's body while he was alive, and we hadn't noticed that it dwelt there. Now my brother's body was dead, and immortality with it.... And the error, the outrage, filled the whole universe.

Marguerite Duras

She says people ought to learn to live like them, with the body abandoned in a wilderness, and in the mind the memory of a single kiss, a single word, a single look to stand for a whole love.
