Alcohol
doesn't console, it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological
gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't 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
1914-, French Author,
Filmmaker
Alcohol is
barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness
fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.
-- Marguerite Duras
1914-, French Author,
Filmmaker
When a woman
drinks it's as if an animal were drinking, or a child.
Alcoholism is scandalous in a woman, and a female alcoholic
is rare, a serious matter. It's a slur on the divine in our
nature.
-- Marguerite Duras
1914-, French Author,
Filmmaker
No other human
being, no woman, no poem or music, book or painting can
replace alcohol in its power to give man the illusion of
real creation.
-- Marguerite Duras
1914-, French Author,
