It’s while it’s being lived that life is immortal, while it’s still alive. Immortality is not a matter of more or less time, it’s not really a question of immortality but of something else that remains unknown.

[Marguerite Duras, The Lover]


It’s while it’s being lived that life is immortal, while it’s still alive.
Immortality is not a matter of more or less time, it’s not really a question 
of immortality but of something else that remains unknown.

 -- Marguerite Duras (The Lover)
