Je crois qu’il reste toujours quelque chose en soi, en vous, que la société n’a pas atteint, d’inviolable, d’impénétrable et de décisif.

—Marguerite Duras, L’Homme tremblant, conversation entre Marguerite Duras et Elia Kazan, Les Cahiers du cinéma, n°318, décembre 1980

English: "I believe that there always remains something within oneself, within you, that society has not reached, something inviolable, impenetrable, and decisive."

So I guess I misjudged Marguerite Duras after all, or maybe she just contained multitudes. Honestly, this quote should be written into the constitution, right next to 'human dignity is inviolable.
