Marguerite Duras on mothers and madness

"I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met."




[Quote is referenced in Vigdis Hjorth's novel Is Mother Dead, which I have been loving. More to come on this.]
