Men like women who write. Even though they dont say so. A writer is a foreign country. – Marguerite Duras
Alcohol doesnt console, it doesnt fill up anyones psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesnt 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. – Marguerite Duras
The house a woman creates is a Utopia. She cant help it – cant help trying to interest her nearest and dearest not in happiness itself but in the search for it. – Marguerite Duras
I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate. – Marguerite Duras
Comedy can be, especially in a writers room, really aggressive, kind of a very male-dominated room, and it would be hard for women. Its not a nurturing place. Its not like a lot of women are going to say, I cant wait to live that lifestyle and be in a writers room until 2 or 3 a.m. – Ellen DeGeneres
