Books Quote by Marguerite Duras
![“I want to write. I've already told my mother: That's what I want to do-write. No answer the first time. Then she asks, Write what? I say, Books, novels. [...] She's against it, it's not worthy, it's not real work, it's nonsense. Later she said, A childish idea.” quote by Marguerite Duras](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d25/marguerite-duras-2040_books_i-want-to-write-i-ve-already-told-my-mot_1532006.jpg)
