You ask: Could the emotion of loving come from other things too? You beg her to say. She says: It can come from anything， from the flight of a night bird， from a sleep， from a dream of sleep， from the approach of death， from a word， from a crime， of itself， from oneself， often without knowing how.
—The Malady of Death， Novelist， Marguerite Duras
你问道：爱这种情感也会来自其他东西吗?你央求她告诉你。她说：是的，爱可以来自任何事物，来自一只夜鸟的飞行，来自一场酣眠，来自一个睡梦，来自死亡的临近，来自一个词语，来自一种罪行，来自爱本身，也来自某人自己，但我们往往不知道它如何而来。
——《死亡的疾病》玛格丽特·杜拉斯，小说家
