Marguerite Duras said, "You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable."

Duras was born in French Indochine (near present-day Saigon), and fell in love with a wealthy, older Chinese gentleman who was the subject of most everything she wrote.
