Duras Sisters

Famous quotes containing the words duras and/or sisters:

    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 (b. 1914)

    The youngest stood upon a stane,
    The eldest cam and push’d her in.
    Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 15–16)
