Good books, like faith, are for those who know how to appreciate them.

One day, I was already old, in the entrance of a public place a man came up to me. He introduced himself and said:' I've known you for years. Everyone says you were beautiful when you were young, but I want to tell you I think you're more beautiful now than then. Rather than your face as a young woman, I prefer your face as it is now. Ravaged.'

Good books, like faith, are for those who appreciate appreciated.



Almost all of Duras's novels tell the story of her stubborn and realistic mother, her violent brother, and her weak brother. Everyone lives a life of failure and pain, desperately resisting fate, but in the end they can't escape. their own destiny.

Her most famous novel, The Lover, still tells the story of her family, her family, her lover's family, and the doomed love she experienced with him.

If Duras hadn't been born into that family, why wouldn't she have written those books?



It turned out that her loss was all her gain.



The most interesting point in the story of "The Lover" is that the girl met a very rich Chinese man. However, her mother and brother, on the one hand, accepted the money given by the Chinese man very calmly, but on the other hand Constantly despising the fact that men are 'Chinese'.

Duras truly reflects through her love with men that mother and brother are idiots who do not know what "LOVE" is.

Those who can't understand love always like to interfere in the love of others, because they don't understand anything in this world that is invisible and intangible besides money and name.

Duras pitied her ignorant and ignorant mother, hated her cruel brother, loved her weak and helpless brother, and herself, I think, some people, even if they were born in dregs, always Knowing what the right and the real look like, she knows love and can feel love. At the age of 15, Duras already knew how to give love to others. This is a gift that does not necessarily bring you fame and fortune, but it allows a person to truly live his life.

Duras, when she was old, her dry face was ravaged by years, tobacco and alcohol, but there were still men who came forward and said to her the most famous words in the history of love: "I know you. , will always remember you. At that time, you were still very young, everyone said you were beautiful, now, I am here to tell you, for me, I think you are more beautiful now than when you were young, when you were young Woman, I love your devastated face now more than your face then."

That's what she's got all her life.



When I grew up, watching my peers get married and have children in a hurry and start a new life, I realized so clearly that parents are not necessarily people who know how to love, they often just fulfill their duties with due diligence. Regarding the responsibility of the elders to the society, they themselves do not know what love is, but they have hurriedly stepped into the life journey of parenthood.

Immature parents, living a life of hard work and struggle, feel that they are gradually exhausting all their energy and enthusiasm for life. They can only hope that the next generation will be a perfect person and realize all their unfulfilled wishes.

The child becomes a gamble, the child becomes a tool.

Yes, they are such a type of parents. When they were young, they complained about why they didn't have rich or high-ranking parents, why they didn't catch up with the good times, and when they were adults, they longed to meet rich people. Powerful objects, when middle-aged, such people, of course, only hope that their children can be the stars of tomorrow, become rich and noble, and end the tragedy of their lifelong wishes that could not be realized.

There is a kind of person who has no demands on himself all his life, but demands a lot from his surroundings. All his life, he imagines that the others he meets can bring him a very wonderful and perfect life.

Why don't you want to be alone?

They are just running away, unwilling, but earthly desires are eroding their souls all the time.

Only movies and TV dramas can consistently tell us that fate is destined, that something is gained for nothing, and that silly truths like overnight fame,

satisfying people's fantasies and desires, are always the best guarantee of ratings.



Money can be earned through hard work. It is a relationship between more and less, but love, even if you have money, may not be available.

Many people understand and say this sentence, but what I really want to elicit is the following sentence. The

only thing in common between money and love is that neither can become a person's pure obsession and pursuit, longing for money. The essence is the same as those who yearn for love.

Those who are waiting to feed will always have no good results.



Nothing can be achieved by waiting and hoping.
